Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson 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.
