Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
powerful, starting very grainy and smoky, getting rather mineral after a while, with very present notes of gunflint, matchsticks and coal oven. Also hints of freshly cut grass and wet hay. Sort of rough but interestingly smoky for a recent Macallan
restaurant Palate
sweet and full-bodied attack, very youngish this time. Something acrid, alas. Some smoke again but not too much, the whole developing on lemon seeds, concentrated lemon juice, with something Sugarish in the background. Not too ‘Macallanish’, whatever that means nowadays. Gets also bitterer with time
timer Finish
long, on spirit and lemon zests. In short, it’s rather sharp but not exactly unbalanced, and the nose was quite interesting. 80 points . Macallan 1974/2001 (50.5%, Scott's Selection)
