TASTING NOTES

Nose: Rich sweet oaky aromas mingle with an exotic spicy deep fruity and floral aromatic. Notes of nutmeg and hints of cassia bark linger in the background.
Palate: A rich lightly oily character creates an alluring mouth coating sensation that is creamy and smooth which accentuates a beautiful intensity of a full rich fruitcake intermingling with hints of licorice and ginger.
Finish: Stimulating and spicy that opens as quite powerful and then gradually softens into a memorable lingering finish.

Review by F.Paul Pacult

EYE

Color: Metallic gold/lion mane.
Clarity: Pristine, unblemished purity.

Nose

Dryness/sweetness scale 1 (dry) to 10 (sweet): 2
1st 2 minutes: Upfront, there are direct, assertive aromatic notes of maple syrup, cigar tobacco and wrapping paper, bay leaf (laurel), carob, and a whisper of coffee bean.
5 minutes: Second stage inhalations introduce tightly woven and slightly drier/acidic scents of ginger, parchment, and lemon peel.
10 minutes: It’s here, with more aeration, where the various olfactory elements meld into a seductive aromatic message of elegantly spicy, vanilla bean-like oak barrel (vanillin) and dry, unsweetened breakfast cereal.

Mouth

Dryness/sweetness scale 1 (dry) to 10 (sweet): 2-3
Entry: Right from the first taste, I find the mature suppleness of the gustatory composition lean, squeaky tight and crisp (adequately acidic), and more than moderately oaky.
Midpalate: There’s an intriguing expansion at this juncture in the oak-driven sweetness that makes itself known at first blush and it’s this aging vessel development that pushes the flavor intensity and density forward.
Texture: Medium weight/moderate degree of viscosity-grip.
Finish: No question but that it’s right at this point in the savor moment where this whiskey shines brightest as the understated sweetness of the oak underpins all other gustatory aspects, bringing it home with style, concentration, and elegance.

overall

A lovely, moderately mature single malt whose best virtues are its restraint, gradual build-up of character, and pure elemental harmony. 46% is the ideal abv.

Review by Robin Robinson

“Julie Macklowe makes an auspicious and audacious debut into American Single Malts with The Macklowe. Each release serves up a new face of elegance in whiskey. As a “producer”, she and her team prove the importance of overseeing the production with a guiding hand. That careful barrel selection and maturation of well-produced distillate results in an outstanding whiskey at the end of its journey.”

Nose

Lively and playful, with warm filbert nuts and spring honey, a spritz of lemon zest.

Palate

Soft entry, an elegant blanket of peach compote; mid–palate comes alive with bread pudding and a hint of pumpkin spice.

Finish

Starts creamy, peach and lemon custard, medium long finish, comes to its final resolution with a pleasantly dry whisper.

“The careful selection of the original new make distillate was crucial, as were the Toast / Char levels of the American White Oak casks, to ensure that we achieved the aromatic and flavour profiles that we so desired. The product is a Kentucky American Single Malt. Developed by using a combination of American and Scottish traditional production and blending skills that have created a highly individual and impressive product in this category. All of the reaction maturation mechanisms have worked to ensure a concentration of ester molecules that reinforce the aromatic, intense, fresh fruit, floral and creamy character of this remarkable Single Malt.”
