The Macallan
Scotland
Single Malt
Macallan's 1824 range has done away with age-statements and instead focuses on the colour of the whisky. The concept being that the older the whisky is the darker it will be... Regardless of how true this really is, it's certainly a great whisky packed with assertive vanilla and citrus flavours.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
This burnished gold spirit presents a lemon citrus nose, the orange peel and an interlacing sweetness that softens but doesn't eliminate the zest. A quiet note of vanilla is followed by dark chocolate - more assertive, yet not overly so - with a lingering floral and light oak notes.
Citrus and boiled sweets rule the palate, along with hints of ginger and cinnamon, while soft oak tones reveal toasted apples.
The finish is medium sweet, malty and slightly dry.
£19.02 - £899.00
First had it in a pub a couple of months ago and just bought a bottle. I am not an expert, but this is a smooth drink whose character changes drastically with ice. Just a mellow, mellow experience and for that, it's worth every penny.
Don't waste your money. There have been too many corners cut in the name of profits. I will never buy a Macallan again. Bland is the best word I can use to describe this one. Very little in the way of either nose or flavour. To say it's not complex is a huge understatement. I have tasted whisky that was half the price of this one that had much more character. Macallan, I suggest you re-think what you've done with your whisky before you lose all the rest of your customers as you've just lost this one!
I absolutely love it.
I received a bottle of this as a Christmas gift from a non whisky drinking friend. I was hesitant to open it for fear of disappointment. I'm not usually big on NAS whisky, and this one has several poor reviews. After two months of waiting I poured my first sip today. I'm sorry I waited so long. The MoM tasting notes are dead on. This really is a pleasant whisky. No, it's not super complex. It is in fact quite mild tasting to me. There are enough flavors in there to keep it interesting though. Compared to other's in it price range it is amazing.
I can't believe these guys with their poor ratings. Could it be a bad cask (is this possible?) or a brand bashing ring (shame). I doubt Macallan would risk their reputation on a poor product. I found that it lived up to what the label said and went out and bought a second bottle. It felt smooth like many older Scotches with plenty of flavor, etc.
