Nose
Restrained, dry, smokiness. Palate
So smooth as to be elusive. Soft, delicate, elegant. Sweet limes and lemons. Finish
Bitter orange. The peat and smoke returns, with sugared-almond sweetness gradually emerging. Comment
A whisky of seductive charm.
David Robertson
Nose
Floral and fragrant. Hints of wood and spice. Palate
Richly phenolic with lemon and apples. Finish
Mouth coating oiliness delivers a long lasting phenolic and lemony aftertaste. Comment
A very unusual expression of The Macallan. Unquestionably a classic.
