What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Macallan 1824 Estate Reserve
Quote 1 “I got a bottle of Macallan estate reserve not long after purchasing the rare cask, both of which are about the same price, so I’ll use their price point to compare the two. The estate reserve is a very complex, intense scotch and offers a much different flavour profile than that of the rare cask — and yet, both are unmistakably Macallan.
While I personally prefer the smoothness of the Macallan rare cask a little more (which I consider “drinkability”; in other words, a flavour that even a novice scotch drinker would enjoy), depending on my mood and who I share a glass of scotch with, the estate reserve is hands down one of the best scotches I’ve ever tried. Its finish is of exceptional length and very complex, and probably the best part. Like the energizer bunny, it keeps going, and going, and going… If you drink this scotch with other people, it gives you plenty to talk about.
Bottom line: If you want a smooth, complex Macallan — go with the rare cask. If you want an intense, rich and complex Macallan — go with the estate reserve. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.”
Quote 2 “Received as a gift from a client… Wonderful nose, smooth finish with a complex and satisfying aftertaste – seems to be worth the price tag!”
Quote 3 “I had my first taste of this delightful dram today. I found it to be very smooth as well as complex. It has a nice finish to it. I recommend that it be shared with others who appreciate a fine single malt.”
