95- Nose
- Moist Dundee cake topped with toasted almonds. Candied peel. Lemony.
- Palate
- Astonishing fresh, spicy, sweet, toffeeish, buttery, vanilla, charred oak, peaty dryness.
- Finish
- Honey, cinnamon and ginger.
- Comment
- This one I loved. The flavours have melded beautifully, in what must have been an excellent cask.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Biscuity start to the nose. Preserved lemon, ginger, cumin, allspice.
- Palate
- A soft start to the nose. A juicily soft centre.
- Finish
- Long with a tickle of smoke.
- Comment
- Fascinating. A very different style of Macallan. If you buy for your unopened collection, get a miniature as well so you can at least try it.
