Nose:
Bold and luscious with rounded honey, sweet apple, cinnamon, coffee and tiramisu. Orange zest follows a background of backed pears, ginger and nutmeg. Robust, polished matured oak comes at the end in contrast to the subtle green wood and floral undertones.
-
Palate:
Rich and intense flavours of citrus fruits, vanilla, toffee, butterscotch, figs and nutmeg. Complex wood spices, green cloves and dried fruit dates open up immediately, with a calm following the intense beginnings, leaving a sweet and vanilla viscous mouth coating.
-
Finish:
Fruity with oaky sweetness, long and lasting.
-
Conclusion:
With this Edition, Macallan shows of its new distillery. The distillery is something right out of a fairytale. Its beautifully designed and worth visiting. A lot of wood was used making this new distillery and this is something we can taste back in their whisky., but with great balance and delicateness.
