Same flavors on the palate as on the nose. Lots of citrus influence. It tastes fresh and light. Hints of ginger and cinnamon with soft and delicate oak, vanilla and honey.

The first in the 1824 series by the Macallan. This expression is very fresh, young but tastes thin. Lots of citrus, honey and vanilla notes are noticeable on the nose and on the palate. A lovely NAS expression by the Macallan.
