Gavin Smith
77- Nose
- Initially yeasty, then wine gum. Fresh sawdust. More floral when reduced.
- Palate
- Dry, quite tight and one-dimensional. Some cereal notes.
- Finish
- Comparitively short. Raisins linger.
- Comment
- I'm not a fan of younger Macallans, but this is a drinkable, if somewhat undemanding, 8 Years Old.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Young, clean and lovely. Slightly sappy with touches of balsa wood, cereal (malt bins/sugar puffs), vanilla white chocolate and turned earth.
- Palate
- Crisp but with a super-sweet and soft mid-palate. Fizzy and young.
- Finish
- Quite hot, peppery and short. Malty.
- Comment
- Fresh and young, but balanced with good feel. Have it long.
