The Macallan Amber is the second of five whiskies that form part of the 'The Macallan 1824' product series. It's second in intensity and its amber colour. The 1824 series is of a 100% natural colour that comes from the aging in cured oak. Each Macallan wears a colour in its name which represents the whisky's aging and power. The darker the drink, the longer it had been aging in barrels and the more intense it becomes.

Description of The Macallan Amber
The Macallan Amber
TASTING NOTES: The Macallan Amber
- Color: Natural amber color.
- Smell: Kind, almost apologetic at the entrance, floral, with sweet citrus winning presence, commanding a chorus of vanilla on freshly harvested grain. Sultanas and cinnamon dominate over candy apple and cotton candy.
- Taste: Lemon and fresh green apple mixed with cinnamon. Notes of ginger float while the fruit takes over, with subtle but persistent oak between bastidores. Medium to light finish, fruits and cereals and slightly dry.
ALCOHOL: 40% Vol
COUNTRY: Scotland
The Producer
The Macallan Distillers
The Macallan emerged in 1824 when Alexander Reid, a local farmer, got one of the first licenses to distill whiskey and leased 8 acres (just over 3 has) from the Earl of Seafield in order to establish the The Macallan Distillery.

Aroma: Weak. the character of the mark is not appreciated. On a positive note the lack of alcohol is appreciated. Slightly sweet, with notes coming equally from the oak and the sherry, ie, nuts and berries. Also some malt.
Palate: Alcohol, bad news. It is as weak as in the nose and has a total absence of Macallan personality. Similarly, sweet and rather messy wood notes.
Final: Justito, does nothing or leave memory.
Macallan Fine Oak Amber and replaces the sherry versions of 10 and 12 years and is a significant step back. Devoid of personality, it is a young whiskey that has not had enough time to determine their path. Or perhaps the old and useless brand uses barrels that contribute nothing to the distillate. Who knows. The reality is that there are numerous blend of superior quality to Macallan Amber. Perhaps the Sienna, which has excellent views, is the real substitute commented before and although the price increase is substantial to be around 70 euros, it is more appropriate to dare with him than with the weak Amber.
