Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a lot of rum and raisins at first nosing, some toasted bread, Seville oranges, chocolate, a little gunpowder, then earth, cigars and leather… It’s all rather aromatic and quite dry, I think the gunpowder wasn’t that obvious in earlier versions of the 18 (say pre-2000). A little bacon as well
restaurant Palate
it does remind me of the ‘old’ Macallans, which is great news. A lot of roasted nuts, malt, Corinthian raisins, the famous fruitcake, kumquats, tobacco… Frankly, this is good stuff and the attack was relatively bold, but it all becomes slightly thin around the middle. Maybe it’s time to go for 45 or 46%?
timer Finish
rather short but clean, very pleasantly on dried fruits and, above all, bitter oranges. A little wook smoke and cloves in the aftertaste
