Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Toffee notes with some polished oak. A real depth here revealing ginger,\rspice 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.

Score: 8.2

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

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.

Score: 8.5
