Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

round, nicely balanced. Some very nice woody notes. Very spicy (syrah!) and almost like some old boy’s jam (all sorts of red fruits, especially plum). A great nose

restaurant Palate

lots of quite harsh tannins. Chapoutier uses some brand new casks for his Pavillon, so no wonder the malt’s alcohol extracted that many tannins. Hints of sulphur. Gets quite winey after a while. Notes of vanilla and dark chocolate. Rather long, but tannic and slightly sweetish finish. Not too enjoyable, I’d say, but the nose is really great. 82 points . September 13, 2004 MALTS - Back from WhiskyLive Paris: lots of new bottlings! Let's start with the brand new Macallan range, if you wish. I'll report on many other interesting discoveries within the next days... Macallan 12 yo Fine Oak (40%, OB)
