Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Intense. Fresh paint. Nutty. Almond milk. Green peas boiling. Crushed walnut. Beeswax in the background.
Palate
Silky, smooth. Wood (pine cone). Freshly baked loaf. Distant fruitiness. Perry. Cinnamon.
Finish
Fairly rich. On the bitter side.
Comment
Another unusual Macallan. Well-balanced. No sherry overload. Second-or third-fill maybe. Or a fino cask?

Dave Broom

Nose
Rich, solid and malty with cream, soft fruit, sultana (bread and butter pudding) alongside light turfy/heathery notes.
Palate
Generous and soft. Quite oily on the palate with some charred wood notes. Chewy, fruity and gentle.
Finish
Light smoke. Drying.
Comment
A lovely and quite complex range of flavours and textures. A palate whisky.
