Tasting Notes

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Soft and sweet. Pear crumble.

Palate: Initially sweet and fruity,then a trace of almond and apple pip,and finally a\rtidal wave of pepper and peat.

Finish: Peaty,spicy and quite long.

Comment: A surprise for a Macallan - but a pleasant one.

Score: 7.5

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Reminiscent of a hot toddy,ginger, vanilla,brown sugar with a twist of\rlemon citrus. Some spice as well.

Palate: That vanilla note comes through more with a delicate spiced orange.

Finish: Long with the oak coming through.

Comment: A stunner... but why just Duty Free? Share the love.
