Taster

Nose: Warm, malted milk. Bitter chocolate. Slightly smoky.

Palate: Dry. Liquorice. Rooty. Sappy. Woody.

Comment: A very odd Macallan. Perhaps a very odd cask.

Score: 7.3

Taster

Nose: Direct and malty. Fresh and light. Seems young. In time a summery mix of cut watermelon, cucumber, grass. Hint of smoke. Clean.

Palate: Medium bodied with good feel. Honey, malt, peat and balanced oak.

Finish: Dry. Hay-like.

Comment: Though a little short has more substance than the rest of the range.

Score: 7.8
