I received this bottle as a christmas gift last year, and i must admit its one of the best gifts any scotch lover can ever receive. So thank you very much Katrina Schindler for such an awesome gift. I took me a few months to get the courage to open such a beautiful bottle of amazing single malt scotch,but when I did boy was I a happy malt lover. The Macallan 18 delivers with class, elegance and masterful craftsmanship. Very few scotches perform like this single malt, many fail to even replicate such precision in their 18 year whiskey's.
The Macallan 18 does carry a hefty price tag,one that may be a bit high,but The name carries power and prestige, so this bottle is a must have for any scotch buff or connoisseur. I highly recommend this single malt and it should be enjoyed on those special day's when you need to treat yourself to something nice.
The Macallan whiskey's are a speyside region scotch, which leads them to be on the softer sweeter side and also they tend to carry soft floral tones.
Nose: very easy to sniff. the alcohol is not potent so you can really stick your nose in it. very present are the scents of vanilla and honey. in the background hints of dried wood and cinnamon hit your nose.
Palate: Again... its gentle on the tounge. it lays soft through the mouth and goes down like sweet honey tea. at the beginning the taste of smoked wood appears followed by soft waves of orange and and dried fruits. underneath all that lies hints of clove and vanilla.
Finish: the finish is like that of the 1812 overture... fantastic and sharp. the lingering flavor of smoked wood and the appearance of ginger give this scotch a finish of epic proportions.
Notes: enjoy this with a fine cigar ( avo no.2 or a montecristo media noche) great after dinner drink and great pairing with dark semi sweet chocolate.
