The Macallan 1951 Vintage, 48.8%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2002 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Amber mahogany color. Its 50 years of age are evident in the nose-there's plenty of resinous wood spice notes (especially clove). Also on the nose is citrus (especially orange), a potpourri of dried fruit, light toffee, and a hint of smoked nuts. The body is thick and viscous. The palate expresses flavors similar to its aroma, finishing dry and long.
