The Macallan 1824 series has been created to showcase the beautiful range of natural colour found in their whiskies - each expression becoming increasingly darker and more complex. Bob Dalgarno, The Macallan Whisky Maker, has hand picked individual 100% sherry oak casts to deliver the rich colour that distinguishes this expression - a Single Malt of exemplary character and flavour.
The burnished gold spirit presents a lemon citrus nose, then orange peel and an interlacing sweetness that softens but doesn't eliminate the zest. A quiet nose of vanilla is followed by dark chocolate - more assertive, yet not overly so - with lingering floral and light oak notes.
Citrus and boiled sweets rule the palate, along with hints of ginger and cinnamon, while soft oak tones reveal toasted apples.
The finish is medium sweet, malty and slightly dry.
