The Macallan 12 Year Old Review is a Scotch whisky made by The Macallan. ABV: 40%. Our expert rating is 8/10.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Oaky and hot right off the pour. Loads of oak and perfume reads as somewhat bitter at first, with notes reminiscent of an amaretto sour and a hint of spiced plums. The nose softens dramatically after a few minutes, settling into dark sherry and plum sweetness.
Palate
Sweet and full, but not overly complex. Lots of sherry, plums, powdered sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg give it a silky, round mouthfeel.
Finish
The finish is quick, with a mild burn and a long, lingering presence of sweetness reminding me of iced cinnamon rolls.
Expert Review
