The Macallan is one of the top prize-winning malt whiskies in the world and the 1824 series one of its most highly acclaimed ranges, especially The Macallan Amber and The Macallan Sienna. Created as a homage to the year in which the Easter Elchies House was granted its first licence for distillation, the names of these whiskies result from the spectacularly harmonious toning of their natural colours, achieved distinctively by their maturing in 100% Spanish oak barrels previously steeped in Sherry wines.
This distillery has historically opted for the best Spanish oak from Galicia in this series, and its ageing in Oloroso Sherry casks is responsible for its unique, inimitable character. The fusion of Scottish tradition and the wonderful Sherry element come together in The Macallan 1824 Series, featuring the best of the Highlands and of Spain.

Muy buena relación calidad precio. Complejidad con matices y fuerza.
Macallan ha aceptado el cambio del paradigma, que cualquier producto "de lujo" tenga que venderse a precios disparatados simplemente porque está de moda y hay mucha gente dispuesta a pagarlo. Así hemos visto el 18y.o. fine oak o sherry oak dispararse a varios cientos de euros, el Ruby pasar de poco más de 100€ a rozar los 300. El Sienna mantiene un precio aceptable en semejante mercado, ofreciendo el equilibrio entre sabores y aromas con la personalidad de un grado alcohólico potente. Es un whisky complejo, con un primer sorbo algo fuerte y difícil de descifrar, que según progresa la cata va abriéndose y mostrando muchos sabores familiares en los whiskies de la marca: vainilla, jerez, roble, humo... con la particularidad de mantener mucho equilibrio, no es fácil decir qué sabor predomina. Tampoco el alcohol lo hace. Si pudiera serían cuatro estrellas y media.

A great speyside
A nice gold color. A noze with praline and apples and nuts. A mouth very spicy and with honey and a very long finish. The price is high but it definitively worth it.
