Macallan has been hyped, just like the Springbank we had yesterday. But Macallan has already been hyped for years and why is that? Aside from the high quality of whisky they produce, Macallan has been one of the larger and most famous distilleries of Scotland for many decades. This hype is well-earned and in our humble opinion derives from the quality and continuity of the whiskies they produce.
This Macallan is a collaboration with Jodi Roca, one of the Roca brothers of the *** Michelin star restaurant El Celler de Can Roca in Girona Spain.
Jodi Roca is the “dessert artist” and has he nailed it with Rich Cacao. I do taste the Cacao in this dram. It's also one of the key features Macallan is known for, so Jodi certainly had a great flavour profile to work with!
This has a typical Speyside character and especially Macallan is known for oranges, chocolate, forest fruits and a wee bit rummy yummy. Lesser known is the copper in the taste, but also a feature you find in Macallan whiskies.
