Not afraid of the shortage that concerns many Scottish distilleries, Macallan has invested in new facilities and, more importantly for us willing to drink now, created a new range in 2012: the 1824 series.

At its core, we have four colours for four ways to play with the wood.

Not afraid of the shortage that concerns many Scottish distilleries, Macallan has invested in new facilities and, more importantly for us willing to drink now, created a new range in 2012: the 1824 series. At its core, we have four colours for four ways to play with the wood. Like the Macallan Gold, the Amber edition is a blend of American and European oaks, but Amber comes with a higher proportion of 1st fill casks, therefore a darker colour.

Tasting Notes

"Bring the glass close to your nose and you will get a lot of flavours. Rich, this is a whisky displaying notes of orange, vanilla, dry fruits, chocolate, Brazil nuts and so on. Quite nice! The palate is offering the same profile, plus cinnamon among other spices. This is a whisky that is very fruity, smooth and easy to drink. Although you could expect more from the nose, it plays well neat or for cocktails."
