Described by Paul Pacult, the renowned international whisky writer, in his book Kindred Spirits as: "simply the best 10 Year Old single malt around", The Macallan has justly reaped such critical acclaim. The secret of The Macallan lies in defiant adherence to traditional methods and ingredients. The continued use of finest Golden Promise barley and the insistence on oak sherry casks from Spain are just two of the pre-requisites for perfection. Colour : Mahogany. Nose : Full, slightly sweet; toffee, ginger and dried fruits accompanied by sherry and cloves. Palate : Rich in both dried fruit, with a subtle toffee sweetness and pleasant touch of spice flavour with a touch of sweetness and wood. Finish : Medium long. |
