Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 맥캘란 특유의 졸인 과일과 가벼운 바닐라, 마른 오렌지가 먼저 두드러진다. 1991년에 증류해 12년을 채운 이 스페이사이드 보틀링은 57도의 도수에서 보리의 단맛과 셰리의 뉘앙스가 또렷하게 발전한다. 팰럿은 잘 익은 자두와 호두, 은은한 향신료가 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 피니시는 달콤한 과일과 오크의 잔향을 길게 남기며 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold. No heavy sherry, I suppose
air Nose
what what what? This is e-xac-tly the same nose as that of the Douglas Laing, aroma for aroma. Perhaps just a tiny wee touch of vanilla missing in this one, but that is all. Amazing – and no, I did not muddle up my glasses. With water: last week’s cut grass and freshly squeezed orange juice
restaurant Palate
ho ho ho… Small berries and the eaux-de-vie distilled thereof, this is as close to some ‘pure’ distillate as you could get. In other words, the cask seems to have filtered out the unwanted molecules – which is one of his duties, as you know – but it did not impart any additional flavours. Not one. The end result is pretty brilliant, albeit a little simple, on barley water, melons, ripe apples, cherries, and lemongrass. Wheelbarrowloads of lemongrass. With water: same, just the same. Perhaps a notch more on sweet barley notes
timer Finish
only medium, but so perfectly barley-ish that you would start to declaim poetry. No, not obligatorily Robert Burns
