Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 30년 장기 숙성과 리필 셰리 버트가 빚어낸 묵은 과일과 오렌지, 가벼운 가죽 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. SMWS가 맥캘란의 1989년 빈티지를 병입한 이 위스키는 46.9도에서 향이 깊고 둥글게 발전한다. 팰럿은 말린 살구와 무화과, 꿀의 단맛이 주도하며 오래된 오크의 스파이스가 받친다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 다크초콜릿이 길게 이어지고, 명가 셰리 숙성다운 정제된 구조감이 단단한 30년 몰트다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Mahogany
air Nose
Instantaneously classical, pure sherried Macallan. A cavalcade of prunes, dates, crushed walnuts, balsamico and damp earth. Develops further with all these wonderful tertiary aromas of pipe tobacco, hessian, coal hearth and some jammy red fruit notes. It's a delightful, clean and balanced nose that would make diehard Macallan fans squee. Some toffee, liquorice and fresh banana bread follows on although globally it actually starts to feel like quite a dry and lean sherry style
restaurant Palate
Syrupy fruit liqueurs of the strawberry, orange and banana kind along with wood spice, a little natural tar, some more liquorice and something a little sappy. There is an extractive edge to the wood but it has a thickness that keeps the tannins (mostly) in check. Becomes quite spicy in an oriental way with notes of soy and five spice, also quite a bit of high cocoa dark chocolate with sea salt. It's good but it's really walking a bitter tightrope
timer Finish
Medium-long with some black pepper and strong tea. Not so much fruit around but more earthiness, dried mushrooms, umami and spice
