Michael Jackson
95- Nose
- Incongruously, very fresh. Fudge with vanilla essence and pistachio nuts.
- Palate
- Silky. Fresh, appetising. Sweet but not cloying. Light, fresh, delicate, notes of orange-blossom honey.
- Finish
- Very gentle acidity gives balancing dryness.
- Comment
- Delicious whisky, of true sophistication and style. Tasted blindfold, it seems a perfect whisky for today, not an evocation of the past. I would re-package it as 2041.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Light to medium-bodied. Attractive earthy notes with some smoke, a hint of bashed neeps. Gentle, subtle and malty.
- Palate
- Soft and rounded, with butterscotch, light pepperiness, then the earthy, lightly smoky character reappears. Well balanced.
- Finish
- Light, short, earthy.
- Comment
- Controlled. A very drinkable young Macallan.
