Gavin Smith
77- Nose
- Spices, barley, subtle floral perfume.
- Palate
- Firm and confident. More spices, ginger, some trademark Macallan honey and malt.
- Finish
- Honey lingers, angelica.
- Comment
- A lovely, elegant yet large whisky. Why would you ever use sherry wood?
Dave Broom
85- Nose
- Drier. Robust and oily: earthy, seasoned oak, hazelnut, dry spices. Cherry stone, dried apricot, ripe pineapple, melon, peels, then into coconut and cocoa.
- Palate
- Mouthcoating. Peaches cut with toasted nuts, ginger powder, cherry stone, burnt grass.
- Finish
- Dry, a little fresh malt.
- Comment
- Good weight. Ripe.
