Nose
Crisp. Spicy. Ginger ice cream.
Palate
Restrained start. Gentle flavour development. Lean. Lightly creamy. A suggestion of malted milk. Some concentrated sweetness.
Finish
Now the ice cream is rum and raisin.
Comment
Macallan Lite? Because I dislike the idea, I don't want to like the whisky, but it is a pleasant, easily drinkable dram.

Dave Broom

77
Nose
Light, spicy and quite citric. Malt, orange peel, almond, caramelised peach and baked apple.
Palate
Soft and light with an attractive juiciness from those fruits. Delicate and well balanced.
Finish
A little rapid.
Comment
A (deliberately) lighter style of Macallan. Wonder how the purists will take it?
