Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

again, it’s close but maybe a little wilder, with a little more tannins than the WMS and faint traces of what could be peat – or something phenolic, at least. It’s also a tad more floral (dandelions) and a little more honeyed for a while, but it gets just as grassy as the WMS after that, with also a little parsley. Very ‘1851’, I agree (pfff…)

restaurant Palate

extremely close to the WMS now, it’s almost the same whisky on my palate. Maybe the same, in fact, so please read above. 86 points . (Why not do a Cerrutti-sponsored bottling and call it ‘1881’ next time?) Macallan 8 yo 1998 (54.7%, Exclusive Malts, cask #816, 261 bottles, 2007)
