"...What's absolutely striking is something that's relatively rare in whisky in my experience, and that's to be found more often in great well-aged wines, which is a profile that's essentially tertiary, that is to say a gathering of myriads of tiny flavours rather than a few massive ones. Pure poetry, in fact. Just a few examples, soot, passion fruits, papayas, graphite oil (its quite graphity, in fact), plum jam, pipe tobacco, rhubarb... And dozens and dozens of other aromas. Finish: maybe not the longest Macallan ever, and maybe the finish is a notch narrower, but these... raisins are beautiful. Comments: ultra-classic old-style Macallan. They can't be faulted."5 Stars-Whiskyfun)

「......極其引人注目的,是那些在我品嚐過的威士忌中頗為罕見的個性;該等特質通常在優質的陳年葡萄酒中展現,本質輪廓優秀,是一種由無數細微味道,而非幾個厚重風味組成的酒,堪稱純正的詩意,僅舉幾個例子:煤煙、百香果、木瓜、石墨油(它的石墨味挺突出)、李子醬、煙斗煙絲、大黃......以及幾十種其他香氣。收結:也許不是餘韻最悠長的麥卡倫,也許不是很複雜,但......葡萄乾味是美妙的。酒評:超經典的老式麥卡倫,完美無缺。」( Whiskyfun:5星)
