Alcohol up front. Subtle at first, but opens dramatically after a few minutes. Lime seltzer, baked apple, cinnamon, raspberry jam, almost no oak presence at all. Loads of dark fruit make up the body the nose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Palate:<\/strong> Thin and delicate mouthfeel. Subtle sweetness initially reminiscent of maple candies followed quickly by floral and spice notes. Stewed apples in the skin baked with cinnamon sticks, holiday fruitcake, almost overwhelming nutmeg and clove late.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finish:<\/strong> Continued floral and spice notes late in the palate through the early finish. A late flash of a burn followed by a flood of sweet cream. Lacking in significant depth.<\/p>\n<div id=\"thewh-3258972985\" class=\"thewh-4th-paragraph-ads thewh-entity-placement thewh-target thewh-target\" data-thewh-trackid=\"88776\" data-thewh-trackbid=\"1\">[elementor-template id=&#8221;88770&#8243;]<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Final Thoughts:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Macallan offers a lineup that is robust\u00a0in comparison to any virtually any other producer of single malts. Producing spirit in large numbers\u00a0offers them the opportunity to showcase variations across their own spectrum in a unique way. Overall, this dram was unbalanced and a little disappointing in my personal experience.<\/p>\n<p>Like many Macallans, it benefits from being given\u00a0time to breathe and open up. With the Whisky Maker&#8217;s Edition, I can&#8217;t help but feel that there is a reason the bottle does better with a somewhat captive audience in travel retail.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Score: 8\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article at <a href=\"https:\/\/thewhiskeywash.com\/scotch-whiskey\/whisky-review-macallan-whisky-makers-edition\/\">Whisky Review: The Macallan Whisky Maker&#8217;s Edition<\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s Note: This review was originally published in September 2016.
