The Macallan gold

Macallan was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid and is located on the Elchies estate, close to the village of Craigellachie, in the Speyside region of Scotland. 

The colour is a vibrant golden yellow (unsurprisingly) and the nose has a lovely immediate sweetness to it.  There are initial aromas of brown sugar and malty cereals, which are accentuated by further aromas of vanilla, honey and sultanas.  It smells very promising and the aromas are heightened by a top note of zesty lemon rind
