The Macallan
Amber 100% Sherry Cask Matured 100%
Natural Colour 40% ABV
 The
Macallan Amber is the second entry in
the new Macallan 1824 Series which is a
series of single malt Scotch whiskies
where each whisky takes its name from
the colour of whisky. 100% matured in
sherry casks and with no added colour
you can tell from just looking at this
that it will be a richer fuller
flavoured expression than the entry
level Macallan Gold.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Colour:
Deep Amber.
Nose: A delicate nose, slow to
reveal its secrets at first. After a few
deep inhalations it reveals some
deliciously inviting butter tablet and
almost concentrated sherried fruit.
Taste: All its secrets are
revealed with a welcome burst of
raisins, lemon zest and cinnamon
followed by creamy vanilla reminding us
of the oak it has spent years maturing
in. Some ripe plum and toffee giving us
a lovely balanced bitter sweetness.
Finish: Cocoa, vanilla, fudge.
Mild and slightly drying slowly fading
sherry oak.
Comment:
This was shy at first on the nose but
once I tasted it and nosed it again, I loved it. It may not
carry an age statement but there is
obviously a good potion of mature stuff
in the mix. A classic quality sherried
Macallan with a superb balance of
vanilla and sherry. Loved it!
SMW Score 90/100
