Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points – Classic aromas of brioche, rain dappled slate, and cedar erupt from the glass. But the first sip answers any and all questions: This is a timeless expression of scotch, with subtle smokiness, toasted wheat, and hone |

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points – A nostalgic golden dusty aroma seduces the drinker into deep poached pear and clover honey territory with a hint of toasted walnut. As the liquid develops in the mouth, a seabreeze quality lifts the dense nectar and finishes off the experience with a slight minerality.-2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended) (Tried & True Award).April/2019Other 91 points – Drier, less toffee and fruit, more dried spice and oak when compared to the standard Oban 14 year old. A beautiful combination of rich, nutty toffee balanced by polished oak, salt, pepper, seaweed, distant smoke, and dried fruit. Somewhat oily in texture. Wonderful depth, too! An improvement on what is already the biggest-selling Diageo single malt scotch in the U.S. Very exciting and dynamic. (7,700 bottles available only in the U.S. and at the Oban distillery).

Wine Enthusiast 90 points – Distinctly fruity and floral on the palate, this has notes of rosewater and raspberry, braced by pepper and ginger flecks. This smooth and well-balanced gin is a good choice for making a berry-forward cocktail like the classic bramble. – K.N..April/2013 |

Wine Enthusiast 90 points – The initial aroma includes scents of treacle, spice and flower garden; further aeration brings out aromas of black pepper, cola nut, dried red fruit, and molasses.

Wine Enthusiast 92 points – Sip or mix this single malt, aged in American and European ex-sherry barrels. Mellow honey and smooth, nutty flavors taper off into a long fade that shows vanilla, citrus, sweet spices and a hint of cocoa..Kara Newman, December/2017Ultimate Beverage Challenge 96 points – Wonderfully sherried nose of salty, honey-roasted walnuts, golden raisin, truffle, and baked red cherry. The palate is full of briny, salty goodness with hints of apricot, tinned peach, and a tinge of mesquite smoke. Long and honey-tinged. – 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Great Value)(Finalist).April/2018Whisky Advocate 90 points – TOP 20 OF 2017 #17 – Two oaks are better than one in this single malt, which marries whiskies matured in sherry-seasoned casks of both American and European oak. The sherry imparts aromas of raisins, figs, hazelnuts, blanched almonds, candied orange peel, and leather. A backbone of vanilla sweetness on the palate supports layers of ginger and white pepper, dark chocolate, leather, raisins, toasted hazelnuts, and orange oil. This Macallan joins the core line between the Sherry Oak and Fine Oak ranges. Warming and rich without being syrupy, it doubles up on accessibility with its balance and remarkably affordable price for its quality and age. -Susannah Skiver Barton.November/2017 |
