Taster

Nose: Floral and fragrant. Hints of wood and spice.

Palate: Richly phenolic with lemon and apples.

Finish: Mouth coating oiliness delivers a long lasting phenolic and lemony aftertaste.

Comment: A very unusual expression of The Macallan. Unquestionably a classic.

Score: 8.8

Taster

Nose: Restrained, dry, smokiness.

Palate: So smooth as to be elusive. Soft, delicate, elegant. Sweet limes and lemons.

Finish: Bitter orange. The peat and smoke returns, with sugared-almond sweetness gradually emerging.

Comment: A whisky of seductive charm.

Score: 9.8
