Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

a nose I find more appealing than that of the Terra, with more fruitiness, dry fruit jams, and altogether a more classical Macallan profile. The whole feels more coherent and better married, if you like. Raisins, figs, marzipan… Nothing earth-shattering, but quite pleasant

restaurant Palate

less convincing on the palate, with jellybeans and slightly sugary fruit preserves which, truth be told, don’t exactly scream ‘Jerez’. Fruit pastes from the supermarket, with a few supermarket sultanas thrown in

timer Finish

medium in length, still a little syrupy
