Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
rather mellow at that strength, starting quite grainy, with notes of caramel and praline, nougat ice cream and vanilla cake. Really ‘nice’, with quite some wood but it’s far from being overwhelming. Gets more and more on cake, with hints of violet crème and beeswax, cigar box. Not hugely complex but the balance is perfect, with also a little liquorice and a few vegetal notes (hay). Maybe a little peat as well? It gets better and better with time, with the wood taking control but it’s definitely an elegant kind of oak
restaurant Palate
powerful and sweet, with again a very nice tannic structure. Lots of body! Huge liquoricy and caramelly attack, with lots of roasted nuts and quite some smoky ‘stuff’. It gets then nicely sugarish (fruit liqueurs, Jell-O) with lots of vivacity. Nice notes of herbal tea, Turkish delights… The finish is long, balanced, mostly on praline and vanilla. A very good un-sherried Macallan, nicely compact and with lots of oomph! 87 points . Macallan-Glenlivet 8 yo 1989/1997 (61.5%, Milroy’s)
