From Macallan's Travel Retail Range - The 1824 Collection - comes this single malt whisky aged in American oak seasoned with sherry and bourbon, and first-fill European oak sherry casks. Delightful. Nice big litre bottle too!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Toasted oak, pepper and marshmallows, fruits, Black Forest Gateaux.
Nutty, almonds, calves leather, vanilla, sherried peels and ginger.
Mulled wine spices and malt.
Perfect. Skanu, svelnu, vaisiska....
Good taste..
Stopped at the Macallan distillery in Sept. 2016 and sampled several Macallan drams when we were visiting Scotland so when I had a chance I picked up a bottle at Duty Free. I'm not really sure how to describe my first and second tastes - While I'd readily admit that I can't really pick up on all of the complexities of Scotches (I just enjoy them) - this one left me puzzled - not bad but kind of non descript - just couldnt get a handle on it - certainly not a bad dram but in my opinion not an outstanding one either - especially for the price point - However from the other reviews that I read, perhaps it could have been the batch I got ?
Great to kick back with this single malt scotch after long day. Very fruity nose, apples, rose pastels, lots of marshmallows! Light in the palate and extremely long finish with a lot of spices and yes! Lingering chocolate notes! Satisfaction.
Have tried this many times in hope that I can find something I like about this whisky. It just seems bland and lacks complexity. It's fairly smooth but this one isn't for me.
