Macallan 15 Year Old Fine Oak | £43.49 |
Gavin Smith
82- Nose
- Perhaps a touch more vanilla sweetness than the 12 Years Old.
- Palate
- Altogether 'bigger' in the mouth than its younger stablemates, but slightly more citric and winey.
- Finish
- Mellow, cooked fruits.
- Comment
- This is getting difficult, but the 12 Years Old still just edges it for me.
Dave Broom
92- Nose
- Orange peel and ripe melon, mango, vanilla pod. Hot sawdust, coconut/hazelnut, wax polish.
- Palate
- Honey, nutty oak, cooked orchard fruits (Crème de pêche, black banana). Caramel toffee, oak, bracken, malt, dark chocolate. Superb balance.
- Finish
- Very complex fruits with a spicy tingle.
- Comment
- Takes time to open but worth the wait. The complete package and arguably the best.
