Last week we dished up another dramspanking dose of dramfotainment
in the form of one of our Twitter trending Tweet Tastings, this time exploring
the four new 1824 Series bottling’s from The Macallan.
In the good company of our global gathered gaggle of Tweet
Tasters we sampled their latest splendorous Speyside single malt wares, in the
order of Gold, Amber, Sienna and Ruby.
It was an amazing evening, which was topped off perfectly by trending at number 2 on Twitter in the UK. If it wasn’t for a paid promotional
trend at number 1, we’d of grabbed the top spot!
Here are a few of the tweeted tasted highlights from the
night:
The Macallan Gold
@LRWhisky Homemade
apple pie with warm sugar and cinnamon on the top.
@WhiskyDiscovery
Lots of vanilla and lemon notes, sultanas, honeydew melon, light linseed oil
too.
@mynameisgone
Cereal, lemon, nice and fresh. Gooseberries but with a touch of sweetness.
@KirstyPryde1
Very light definite peppery notes and a touch of coffee. Big hits of vanilla
for me as it settles, more stewed fruits.
The Macallan Amber
@DramStats Vanilla,
sherry soaked sultana, orange oil, lemon balm and freshly chopped Braeburn
apples.
@BeckyPaskin
Caramelised bananas, rum raisin ice cream and muscavado sugar in this one.
@caskfinishcom
Tropical fruits with some great various spices. Pepper, cinnamon, hints of
vanilla and green granny smith apples.
@ChrisWhiskyman Soft, subtle ginger spice, baked
apple and a touch of citrus. Very grassy middle.
The Macallan Sienna
@sjjgo Wood
all over the place, bananas, Christmas pudding, sultanas, sherry, pear drops, again
nomnnomnomnomnomnomnom.
@bumpythechemist
Thick complex nose on the sienna, orange and over ripe tropical fruits.
@steveprentice
Zesty, slight sharp fizziness and buckets of summery fruits jumping around with
their autumn cousins.
@TonyWTC Lovely
balanced fruity nose but with a hard edge.
@dvdbloke
Pungent & heavily sherried. All the usual chocolate, orange peel & fruit
cake on warp factor 10.
@simon_m_field
Quite woody, hint of figs, apple & oranges but very smooth.
@Whisky_facile
Really fruity (orange peel & candied oranges) softly spiced (cinnamon &
cloves).
@mattveira
Oak, fruitcake, vanilla custard! Finish is long & rich, dark berries and hints
of ginger with a return of sweet oak.
