This is the new no-age-statement Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the famous Speyside distillery of Macallan.
Macallan's new range has done away with age-statements and instead focuses on the colour of the whisky with the concept being, the older the whisky, the darker the colour.
Technicalities aside, this certainly is a great whisky packed with assertive vanilla and citrus flavours.
Nose: A lemon citrus nose with orange peel and an interlacing sweetness that softens but maintains the zest. A slight vanilla note is followed by dark chocolate with lingering floral and light oak notes.
Palate: Citrus and boiled sweets dominate, along with hints of ginger and cinnamon, while soft oak tones reveal toasted apples.
Finish: Medium sweet, malty and slightly dry.
