Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 잼과 파이프 담배를 닮은 향이 먼저 잔 위로 솟는다. 코를 더 가까이 하면 살구잼과 망고, 건포도와 귤이 한꺼번에 밀려들어 이름값을 한다. 한 모금 머금으면 58.7도가 입안을 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 가죽과 담뱃잎의 맛이 뒤따른다. 물을 조금 타서 다시 삼키면 자두와 마르멜로, 옅은 박하가 새로 열린다. 삼킨 뒤에도 말린 과일의 단맛이 혀뿌리에 아주 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber gold
air Nose
jams and pipe tobaccos. How very Macallan (at that time). Fantastic, as expected. Mango chutney, apricot jam, papayas, hessian, juicy sultanas, litchis, honeysuckle, tangerines, all that playing in perfect sync. This was kept in proper sherry casks, whatever that used to mean in the 1960s. Very little smoke this time, having said that. With water: this very peculiar earthiness, a bit brandy-like I have to say (shh), absolutely wonderful if a little rough. Otherwise, orange blossom and tobacco
restaurant Palate
rich, coating, smokier this time, extremely tobacco-y, slightly leathery, and full of crazy jams and dried fruits. We had a thing in France called ‘confiture de vieux garçon’ into which culprits would have thrown just any fruits and spirits, as in a living bottle or jar. This is reminiscent of that. With water: the kind of juice that made this brand really famous. Sultanas, apricots, plums and quinces, with a thin camphory/mentholy layer that absolutely thrilling. What a jam. I mean, what a whisky
timer Finish
very long, very perfect. There
