Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에 묵직하게 고인다. 1975년 증류해 18년을 보낸 맥캘란을 윌슨 앤 모건이 병입한 이 보틀링은 코끝에 말린 자두와 오렌지 껍질, 오크의 향을 깊게 펼친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 건포도와 흑설탕, 가벼운 향신료가 두껍게 감싸고 54.4도의 도수가 그 단맛을 단단하게 받쳐 준다. 마른 과일과 오래된 오크의 여운이 길게 이어지며 마지막에는 옅은 가죽향이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
starts on beef stock and dark chocolate, more oloroso than the olorosoest of all olorosos and gets then extremely complex, with no obvious aromas standing out anymore. It’s rather an assemblage of myriads of tiny notes, such as raisins, beef jerky, milk chocolate, walnuts, bread crust, burnt caramel, rum, strawberry jam, ash smoke, ham, wine sauce, toffee, kirsch, coffee, bacon, moss, mushrooms… Agreed, what a litany! Oh, and maybe cooking turnips
restaurant Palate
well, the first feeling we get is ‘old Macallan!’ It’s big, robust whisky and really, it’s very Macallan (I know this is of little use, sorry.) Smyrna raisins, toffee, liquorice, smoked ham, prunes, coffee… Oh well, you see what I mean. Very Macallan indeed and this is adorable, even if it does get just a tad dryish after a moment
timer Finish
long, a tad rawer now, salty and balsamic but also more candied and fruity at the retro-olfaction (apricot liqueur)
