The third darkest bottling in the no-age-statement, sherry matured 1824 Series from The Macallan. Sienna is a naturally occurring pigment, referring not only to the hue of this expression but to the fact that The Macallan's whiskies are all released with no added colouring.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Noticeably bigger than Gold and Amber, orange peel, vanilla sugar and hot cross buns.
Raisins and dried apricots, ripe greengages, frozen currants.
Fruity and slightly spiced with a touch of anise.
This is where the 1824 Series becomes more intense.
This is a dangerously drinkable whisky, vanilla, toffee apple, mandarin, gingerbread biscuits, sherry, oak, warming like a glengoyne 21, no sulphur, I’m not a macallan fan but I love this whisky. I grabbed 8 bottles to drink later on when they were £65, a steal at that price, don’t be put off by nas snobs and grab a bottle before it’s too late, I’ve had all the editions so far (1,2,3,4) and I prefer this, also prefer this to the rare cask. My favourites would be the rare cask black, ruby and 18 sherry, they are amazing, stay away from the fine oak series, glengoyne 15 will do it better for cheaper and glenfarclas 17 better than this? Lol maybe if you like old library and pencil shaving flavours but I prefer a quality taste, only letdown to this whisky is the finish could be longer but 5 stars at this price point.
On Amazon this is £168 including p&p...this is probably a 15-18 year old whisky...extortionate price!!!!Will never visit the distillery due to over-rated whiskies they sell.The Macallan...everything that is wrong with a snobby whisky brand!!!!!?
Not bad this one but overpriced.Quite nice toffee flavours and rather smooth,but for nearly £80 you can get a Glenfarclas 17,which is miles better!
Oh my, this was just a very pleasant experience. So easy to drink, no chaser necessary. Very sweet aroma assails the nose as it is opened and poured. Has a sweet vanilla/floral taste to it. Highly recommended.
Quite good this one..but not the gateway to 18 Fine Oak..which is £175!!What is Horst thinking..good flavours and smoothness for £66 though!!?
