Macallan Rare Cask (2023), NAS, 43%
No details are known about this release, except that it has been matured in sherry seasoned oak casks. Big surprise there. Oh, but there is more info. Macallan have collaborated with Carlie Burchill of Simple Minds for this release. He appears to have helped them with the tasting notes (source):
“Charlie's remarkable talent in identifying rare tasting notes, such as raisin, resonates beautifully with his ability to compose and play music.”
OK, then.
The Macallan Rare Cask (2023) is available to buy in Norway very soon at NOK 3700 (3597401).
Nose: Opens with the scents of leather and dried fruits, presenting a mild and reserved character.
Taste: Light on the palate, featuring caramel and black pepper, with a touch of bitterness and oakiness, and a return to the themes of leather and dried fruits.
Finish: Medium in duration, concluding with notes of chocolate, raisin, rowan berries, mustard seeds, and a resurgence of dried fruits.
Comment: Subtly complex.
Score 86/100
