Serge Valentin (86)

A new version for duty free outlets. Colour: gold. Nose: a little more oomph here but also a different profile. Grassier, more austere, oakier, more ‘Highlands’ than the two other youngsters. Quite some spices (nutmeg and cloves, white pepper), butter and green bananas, newly cut grass, liquorice, green apples… Much less round and soft than both the 8 and the Distiller’s Choice. Very ‘natural’ – quality spirit, no doubt. Mouth: yes, this is clearly more substantial. The attack is very pleasant, liquoricy and candied, with quite some apple compote, praline, caramelised nuts (pecan pie) and vanilla crème. The liquorice gets more and more dominant after a moment, and I like liquorice – it’s almost pure liquorice after a while. Finish: medium-long, caramelised, liquoricy, minty and very clean, with a very enjoyable oakiness. I like this Macallan that’s got lots of presence. One of the best recent Macs in my books
