Tasting Notes
Colour
salmony
air Nose
what’s rather funny here is that the addition of the whisky and the wine cask probably create sort of an extra dimension here, and that that dimension is rather grassy. Other than that we do get hints of red fruits and peonies but that’s very discreet (not sure the HB casks were first fill). Little ‘vinosity’ as such. A little smoke and hints of cat coat
restaurant Palate
more wine now, and also a bigger spirit it seems. Grenadine, quince jam, bilberry pie, honey, raspberry eau-de-vie (guess where the best ones come from?), cornflakes, maple syrup, brioche, baklavas... This is kind of orgiastic I must say. A rather extreme ‘jamminess’, where poor Macallan is rather muzzled, but the end result is interesting and certainly likeable to many people. But it just isn’t a Macallan anymore on the palate, I’d say (whilst it was on the nose) – now, if you like wine finished whiskies, you’ll like this one for sure
