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
A nice low cost introduction to this well known brand. Could benefit from a little more cask time. Open up with water.
To be honest tried because 007 drank macallans. Couldn't afford 50year old so tried this one like it enough said!!
Very smooth, easy on the nose, great end result
The best single malt I've tasted till date
I just bought a 5cl sample after I have tasted several whiskys for the last 3 years. First of all I noticed the lemon and chocolate notes in the nose and everything just works so well together. In the mouth the spirit is very smooth and round. Compared to Ben Nevis 10 years old, which I have tasted side by side, there are many similarities. Both taste like orange and chocolate, the BenNevis (non chill filtered, 46%) more pronounced and richer but the Macallan Gold with much more finesse. There is so much more going on here. The citrusy and ginger tones together with the subtle bitter oak complement the tasting notes of the BenNevis. Don't know much whiskys that are so harmonical, Glenfiddich 18 for example. One point of criticism is the rather short finish. But I think it's very good!
