Tasting notes

Taster Dominic Roskrow

Nose: Mince pies, orange fruits, nutmeg and ginger.
Palate: Gentle and soft,with an initial burst of peach and apricot. Clean and sweet, and then a counter-balance from late tannins and a touch of spice.
Finish: Nicely balanced mix of fruit,spice and oak.
Comment: Everything that a Macallan should be.

8.5

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Toffee notes with some polished oak. A real depth here revealing ginger,spice and a little nutmeg.
Palate: That spice note explodes in the mouth,drying slightly on oak.
Finish: Long and lingering with a suggestion of smoke.
Comment: Yet again Macallan on form. Great interplay with oak and spice.
