Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

it is rather lovely, soft, honeyed, with those tobacco-and-honey notes typical of Macallan in those days, a whiff of old Yquem (yes!), and a charming mix of nuts—walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, macadamias—all lightly toasted. Hints of earth, mushrooms and more tobacco, so yes, definitely Macallan, though at 40% vol. the weaknesses will show on the palate

restaurant Palate

well, even at 40% vol., it’s a very good Macallan and remains a very good whisky. There’s that honeyed tobacco again, biscuits, dried fruits, even Christmas cake and candied orange. It just tends to frustrate the palate slightly in mid-mouth, likely due to the low wattage. It’s a bit like acoustic Led Zeppelin, if you will

timer Finish

a little short, but clean, rather floral and slightly earthy. Lacks a bit of punch though. Surprising notes of white chocolate in the aftertaste
