Now, however, please give us the salmon, we are hungry now… 88/100. Autumn, iridescent, very drinkable, deep. ![]() It’s silly to make comparisons with the Macallans of the distant past, but to stay with the Edition series, it was since No.2 that we didn’t taste such a good one. Let’s just say we would have used it for a warmer colour than blue, that’s it. For us the best thing is a full return to the canons of “Macallanity”, that is the wise use of sherry barrels that have built the myth of the distillery. But if it can work for the sense of smell, the palate would be wrong to call it just “fresh”. Coffee base? Certainly long and satisfying.ĭuring the presentation someone underlined the freshness of this whisky, which reminded some people of the morning air on the shore of the Spey. Pleasant mixed and sweet spices and a certain humidity from wood in the cellar.į: bitter, crunchy almond and peach cocoa (between pulp and stone). Caramel again, dried fruit (pecans and hazelnut cream). The fruit also takes the path of the persimmon and plum jam on the tart, testifying to a sweetness that is present but never pleasant. Here the sherry is really an old-fashioned and aromatic Oloroso: enveloping vinosity and pleasant acidity, which gives citrusy vibrations (orange/quince, dried apricot, tamarind). P: a nice full and oily body, we will never tire of saying how the Macallans at a higher grade than the classic 40% and 43% are infinitely more expressive. Inspired by the River Spey, the sixth and final release in The Edition series of annual limited editions from The Macallan is crafted with a combination of American and European oak sherry butts and hogsheads to create a multifaceted experience with a deep and rewarding flavour. With time, aniseed seems to sprout, and this is not the suggestion of ice-coloured packaging. Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and tobacco) and orange, a sulphurous thread. The European one in deep hints of sultanas in spirit, prunes and lots of peach, both baked and fresh. ![]() The American oak tree makes itself felt in a general sweetness, ranging from Malaga ice cream to toffee and pecan nut tart. In particular, chocolate triumphs in all its forms, it feels like being in Knam’s laboratory. ![]() Modern sherry, of course, in its own way fresh and not heavy, but still intense. N: Macallan, it’s really you! The first thing that strikes you is the fullness of the sherry.
