The Macallan Harmony Amber Meadow collection is the third limited edition in an innovative series released each year. Amber Meadow was created in collaboration with Stella and Mary McCartney to celebrate the lush, fertile lands of Scotland.
The Whisky Mastery team also drew inspiration from Scotland's natural meadows to create a single malt aged in sherry and bourbon oak casks, strongly reminiscent of warm meadows and ripe barley fields with a rich lemon-scented finish.
Nose: Fresh, sweet fruitiness of lemon zest and white grape, exotic (pink grapefruit and ripe mango). A particularly spicy, woody note hovers above. A drop of water dries out these aromas and introduces a pinch of white pepper.
Taste: Creamy, full texture with a sweet flavor. Fruity and malty behind that homemade rum caramel, exotic notes of spicy pineapple and green banana, made even more palatable by spicy, dry oak.
Nose: Glenturret Maiden Peated Ed. reveals smoky, peaty notes, accompanied by subtle hints of ripe fruit. Feel: On the palate, this single malt reveals intense aromas of peat, honey and spice, offering a rich, complex taste experience. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving a lingering sweetness and hints of smoky oak.
Having selected and vatted casks from same six years in both type of casks, Tomatin Distillery manager Graham Eunson, has created two incredible whiskies and an exceptional tasting experience.
Nose: Delicate notes of ripe fruit and honey mingle with floral nuances. Mouth: An explosion of flavors with aromas of vanilla, caramel and sweet spices. Finish: A long, warm finish, marked by notes of oak and dried fruit.
Nose: Sun-ripened orange and lemon, honeysuckle, vanilla, coconut and ripe barley fields.
Taste: Rich oak, lemon, melon, classic scone, almond and green tea.
