Macallan Gold 1824 Series

Barrica Americana: cremoso, vainilla

On the nose is sweet lemon cake, vanilla and dried apricots. - To the palate it is a little sharp, with semi-sweet fruit and slightly dry wood notes. - The finish is slightly sour, with a little touch of spice, dried apricots, and a hint of oak.

[Troon, Scotland. 8/16/18] Off to play Championship Course at Royal Troon on Friday. Starting golf trip off on world class course; might as well couple this with world class distillery. The Macallan 1824 series is a grouping of NAS expressions predicated on color and not age. This whisky‘s name is a good indication of such, and it consists of sherry aged product having slept in a combination of American and European oak for 9 to 15 years. The nose is elegant with a constrained measure of sherry. The palate is also balanced with proper levels of both fruitiness and sweetness. A medium finish is smooth and satisfying. Macallan fans will not be disappointed in this offering, but neither will they be inspired. I would rate this at a high 3 to 4 with our current venue giving them the extra nudge. :)
