Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
less nervous and fruitful than the G&M, more on vanilla and café latte at first nosing. The rum is then rather obvious, with also a little coconut. Huge notes of nutmeg arising after a while – I think I never had any malt whisky that had so much nutmeg. The whole is a tad strange and not very ‘Macallan’
restaurant Palate
a rather bizarre attack. There are fruits that are similar to the 1968’s but also some ‘twisted’ notes that must come from the rum. Something like burnt liquorice? Barbecued marshmallows? The whole isn’t unpleasant, only not ‘Macallan’ at all. There’s even a kind of peatiness, I don’t know where it comes from
timer Finish
long, cleaner, with some grapefruits and pineapples
