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 |

Wine Enthusiast 92 points – A Jack Rose cocktail wouldn’t be the same without this historic “blended brandy” spirit, blended from 35% apple brandy and 65% neutral spirits. Smooth, warm and bright, with a rich, juicy apple flavor and caramel finish. Mouth- | The process to make Applejack is started at the peak of the apple harvest, in early September. This insures the quality and sweetness of the apples are at their peak. Applejack production utilizes a huge volume of fresh apples each year. It takes 7,000 p |

Wine Enthusiast 90 points – TOP 100 SPIRITS OF 2017 – Look for a straw hue and unmistakably peaty, smoky scent. On the palate, fruity sweetness leads at first, quickly morphing into a billow of pungent peat smoke. Quite drying, and finishes fiery. Water tamps down the alcohol heat and brings more orchard fruit forward. Released in 2016 to honor Alfred Barnard, considered to be the first whiskey writer, as part of the 200th anniversary of Lagavulin..Kara Newman, December/2017Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points – Lemon peel, sweet smoke, dried green herbs, baked apricot, and cedar rise from the glass. While lighter in body, it is rather powerful with rich smoke and minerals balanced by allusions to honeysuckle and white peach.- 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended) (Great Value).April/2019 |
