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.
This was a gift and expected a clean smooth dram from such a big well-know distiller. Unfortunately this was not the case. Tasted side by side with 14 other drams this came rock bottom even compared to a 5yo cask sample. The nose has an over-powering stench of burnt rubber. This continues a little dampened in the palate. Any qualities here are completely wiped out and it's difficult to see this as anything other than a cynical marketing exercise. I am a fairly tolerant whisky taster but this was beyond the pale.
I really like this and would definitely recommend. I have two other whiskies in at the moment .. good ones but I will probably finish this first ... excellent.
Fresh and slightly spiced apple with a nice rounded finish that doesn’t linger.
Very pleasant. All those so called ‘experts’ who want to adulterate it with coke or water wouldn’t know a good whisky or whiskey if it jumped up and bit them. They should stick to their el cheapo bourbon
Bland and tasteless relative to other scotches. I have drank better tasting Rye's and Whiskey's for 1/2 of the price. If the price was half it would be a good low end Whiskey to mix with coke, at this price- no thanks.
