Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
8년이라는 짧은 숙성에 40도 병입이지만 노즈는 예상보다 단정하다. 꿀과 담뱃잎이 겹치는 특유의 향이 먼저 두드러지고 가볍게 구운 호두와 헤이즐넛이 뒤따른다. 팰럿은 무게가 크지 않으나 비스킷 같은 몰트 단맛과 말린 과일, 설탕에 절인 오렌지가 차례로 이어진다. 중반에서 힘이 다소 빠지는 점은 낮은 도수의 영향이다. 피니시는 짧고 깨끗하며 흙내와 화이트 초콜릿이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it is rather lovely, soft, honeyed, with those tobacco-and-honey notes typical of Macallan in those days, a whiff of old Yquem (yes!), and a charming mix of nuts—walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, macadamias—all lightly toasted. Hints of earth, mushrooms and more tobacco, so yes, definitely Macallan, though at 40% vol. the weaknesses will show on the palate
restaurant Palate
well, even at 40% vol., it’s a very good Macallan and remains a very good whisky. There’s that honeyed tobacco again, biscuits, dried fruits, even Christmas cake and candied orange. It just tends to frustrate the palate slightly in mid-mouth, likely due to the low wattage. It’s a bit like acoustic Led Zeppelin, if you will
timer Finish
a little short, but clean, rather floral and slightly earthy. Lacks a bit of punch though. Surprising notes of white chocolate in the aftertaste
