Мягкий солодовый профиль с ванилью, печеньем и лёгким хересом, без острых углов, но плоский и недорого стоящий за свою цену; опытные оценивают строже (75–76), остальные чуть щедрее (83–87).
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует сладость ванили, песочного печенья, мёда, сливочной выпечки и жареного миндаля, за которой проступают сдержанные хересные ноты сливы, апельсина, мандарина, вишни и тёмных сухофруктов, местами дуб и лёгкая пряность корицы; несколько авторов находят нос самой сильной частью — насыщенным и приглашающим. Во вкусе та же чистая, сладкая, солодовая композиция с карамелью, дубом, миндалём и хересом, но заметно тоньше и водянистее: не хватает крепости (43%), интенсивности и глубины, местами проскакивает спиртоватость и лёгкая горчинка, а послевкусие короткое, дубовое, без развития.
Хвалят сбалансированность, гладкость, отсутствие посторонних нот и питкость — это добротный, но простой купаж из молодых бочек (бурбон плюс херес), уместный для новичков и нечастых любителей. Критикуют предсказуемость, плоскость, тонкое тело и особенно завышенную цену: многие вычитают баллы именно за неё и предпочли бы обычный Macallan 12 Sherry Oak. Расхождение выражено чётко: опытные ревьюеры разочарованы несоответствием легендарной репутации бренда и ставят 75–76, тогда как остальные оценивают мягкий, приятный характер щедрее — 83–87. Общий разброс велик (от разгромных 20 как «маркетингового хода» до 89), но основная масса согласуется вокруг «добротно, но заурядно».

A very nice, simple whisky that was clearly "composed" from different casks, so of course you can't expect rough edges here. Reminds me of the nice 85 point standards like Glenfiddich 12 or Glenmorangie 10 - although this one is one to three points higher overall because it's a bit fuller overall.

87.5 The first nose is dominated by a luscious sweetness of vanilla biscuits, butter cookies, honey and roasted almonds. Behind it there are very subtle sherry aromas of fresh plum pulp, but also oranges. The flavors are very smooth and composed, but well done. Reminds me a lot of the Glenfiddich 12 here, but this one has more intensity and fullness. |

87.5 The entry is slightly less round and full than the nose. The alcohol splashes out a little too clearly in between, but overall a nice clean composition in which I find some sandalwood and cinnamon in the background in addition to the aromas from the nose. Seems a bit thin in places in that the aromas cannot be kept constant. The contents of the barrels will not have been particularly old, I guess 10-12 years and was obviously diluted properly and ironed smooth. |

The mouthfeel is soft and a bit woody at the same time, but still oily for the overall quality. The finish is rather short. |

Pretty different from what i expected... Nose is pretty good, develops with time, really promising but after it... Just no comment... No off notes, just no notes at all in some segments!

A night on earth in Scotland is the title of this Macallan. Released for the Scottish New Year's Eve celebrations in double packaging. The packaging itself is very beautiful and elaborate, and of course you pay for it. I have lovely vanilla and shortbread notes on the nose. There are also almonds before the sherry influence comes in. The taste is soft and sweet. Otherwise it has almost the same aromas as on the nose. The finish is too short, but the aromas match the rest. Unfortunately you don't get much for the price, but if you ignore it you have a gentle malt without any rough edges. Both types of cask have left behind aromas. Both the bourbon and the sherry are present. The whisky does nothing wrong, but it's not a force to be reckoned with either. It's still drinkable and delicious.
Pretty well Balanced, full body but unfortunately not very complex! Given the price i would not buy a bottle ...
Macallan has a legendary reputation for me: exceptional sherry aromas, tremendous depth, and a whisky that immediately makes it clear why the brand has achieved such status. This was precisely the expectation I had – and yet again, it wasn't met. It's hard to understand why this particular bottling is supposed to hold a special place. Lots of presentation, lots of brand image, and high expectations – but in the end, the taste leaves significantly less of an impression than anticipated.

The whisky starts off pleasant and approachable on the nose, but even here it plays it safe. Instead of distinctive or exciting aromas, familiar sweet notes dominate. What initially seems agreeable hardly develops further and reveals a certain blandness early on. * Vanilla * Butter biscuit / Shortbread * Honey * light citrus notes * overall rather one-dimensional . |

This impression is reinforced on the palate. While the aromas are clean and pleasing, they remain surprisingly flat. They lack intensity, development, and a clear, distinctive character that would justify their reputation or price point. Instead of a special experience, they give the impression of a whisky that seems intent on being inconspicuous – and in doing so, leaves little impression. Sweet vanilla * some caramel * subtle spices * shallow depth * Appears thinner than expected . |

The finish is also quite short and leaves hardly any lasting impression. Just where depth or character could otherwise develop, the whisky has already faded away. * short * light oak * some orange * little reverberation and development |

Nase: Süß, Kirsche, Gewürze, etwas Orange, etwas Karamell, Eiche, Rosinen, etwas dunkle Trockenfrüchte | Geschmack: süß, würzig, Eiche, Kirsche, dunkle Trockenfrüchte, etwas Marzipan | Abgang: Mittellang; süße Noten, dunkle Trockenfrüchte, Kirsche, Kirschenschale und Eiche bleiben. | Fazit: Die Nase beginnt sehr süß mit Kirsche und Gewürzen. Etwas Orange und etwas Karamell kommen dazu. Eiche folgt. Rosinen und etwas dunkle Trockenfrüchte sind außerdem da. Der Geschmack startet süß und würzig mit Eiche. Kirsche und dunkle Trockenfrüchte kommen anschließend. Etwas Marzipan ist ebenfalls da. Ein schöner Whisky. Viel süße Noten, Kirsch und dunkle Trockenfrüchte. Eiche ist im Geschmack recht präsent. Fehlnoten habe ich keine und die Alkoholstärke passt gut. | 87 Punkte
still light , however abit more flavours compared to smooth arabica honey sweetness sweet entry with some growing fruitiness short sweet finish
A smooth malt without any rough edges. Caramel, vanilla, oak, sherry..., nice but pretty boring melange. Oomph is missing. The alcohol is too low to deliver more flavor. Thin mouthfeel. A malt for blend drinkers, occasional whisky sippers or newbees. Considering the asked price rather underwhelming whisky. Taking that into consideration please subtract 2 points.
A relaxed, casual malt with enough maturity and sherry influence to avoid being completely boring. It has lovely chocolate notes in the mouth and on the finish, which are actually quite enjoyable. Thanks for the sample @RBronzino :-)

Not bad, medium-long with sandalwood and mandarin peel, perfumed and spicy, fades harmoniously and without bitterness |

Light and sweet on the palate. Light sherry sweetness with mandarin oranges, pears and apricots. Lightly floral and just a little oak spice. Very smooth and inviting in aroma. There's also a hint of shortbread. |

Light with pears and a subtle sherry sweetness. Now a bit more wood. The oak doesn't seem all that young. But it is very pleasant. |

The finish is medium-long and yet relatively unspectacular. Which doesn't mean that it's bad. It ends soft, round and sweet. There's a tiny bit of coffee at the end. |
Phew, what can one say about this Macallan... A good description is: Absolutely average. Unfortunately, the price of around EUR 130 (July 2023) is simply excessive. I would prefer the Macallan 12 Sherry Oak anytime.

Not very long, but lasting, but sweet and the taste of cookies is lasting. |
Appalling, just a marketing move. The nose is minimal, the palate is absent. I would not recommend this bottle to anyone, I would actually encourage spending your money more wisely. Especially considering the price of this release.
