Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы о Macallan Inspired By Intense Arabica расходятся: одни находят кофейно-шоколадный профиль приятным и сбалансированным, другие считают его простым, водянистым и переоценённым по цене.
развернуть подробно
В аромате чаще всего отмечают кофе, шоколад, сухофрукты, орехи, тоффи/карамель, специи и хересные ноты; встречаются также банан, манго, мараципан, ваниль и лёгкие ноты кожи. Во вкусе повторяются кофе, тёмный шоколад, херес, сухофрукты, орехи, карамель и специи, иногда с оттенком соли, дуба и горечи; часть отзывов описывает тело как маслянистое, часть — как водянистое и разбавленное. Финиш в разных отзывах варьируется от короткого до средне-длинного и длинного: упоминаются кофе, тёмный шоколад, херес, тоффи, кожа, орехи, дуб и горечь. Общий тон отзывов неоднороден. Положительные отзывы называют виски сбалансированным, элегантным и приятным, с выраженным кофейно-шоколадным характером и хорошим носом. Критические отзывы указывают на простоту, недостаток сложности, водянистость, молодость, короткий или горьковатый финиш и плохое соотношение цены и качества; несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают высокую цену и разочарование. Несколько отзывов хвалят аромат сильнее, чем вкус.

Macallan The Harmony Collection Intense Arabica SMSW, 44%. 30ml sample from Mr Dram Man consumed Feb 2024 at home on a rainy late evening. Mid to dark amber. The Macallan website says every whisky they make is natural colour. This is pretty dark... Aroma is quite empty up front, but builds nicely. Yellow jelly babies to start. Gummy sweets. Mostly jelly babies. Little musty n dusty. Hint of mango. Over time it gets chocolatey. Clearly not young. Nice fruity distillate. I like the fruity distillate with the fruit n nut chocolate on the aroma. Body is lightly oily. Taste is chocolatey, no rough edges, quite simplistic, touch of salt and char, leading to a cleansing salty finish. Subtle nuttiness along with the chocolate. Much better on the aroma than on the palate. Quite basic, getting slightly bitter. Quite disappointing in the mouth actually – leaning towards bitter with no complexity. Such a pity given the promise shown by the aroma. An above-average dram nonetheless. 3.45/82
weiqingtoh Expert Junior 87 28 mar 2025 5:41 am
A smooth dram with a lovely mouth, reasonable nose but short finish. Color: A lovely amber gold Nose: Fragrant wood, milk chocolate, nuts. Taste: Sherry - sweetness of stone fruits, dark chocolate - a nuanced bitterness comes through, gentle, unassuming, almost tea-like. Finish: Short to medium finish of mostly warmth, hints of chocolate.

I really like this Macallan, it's just a pity it's so expensive, otherwise it would be on my website. Sweet, strongly coffee, with notes of tiramisu, burnt biscuits and dark chocolate. With each sip it becomes more tempting to taste. For a NAS whisky, this is a good release.

A perfectly drinkable NAS dram that I would happily pick up at Aldi or Lidl and pay £20 - £30 for. If I had paid the full retail price I would let out a rueful laugh and agree with Mr Barnum about the fact of there being born one every minute.

Нос83On trhe nose it reminds me of the bottom of a fruit cake as it's slid off a baking tray - dried fruit, plenty of sherry and a slight char where the cake has stuck to the tray. Possibly some sort of toffee as well.
Вкус82The mouthfeel is quite pleasant as it has just enough body to stop it being too thin. In terms of taste there is not a great deal - some sherry notes, a little heat from the alcohol with its being slightly drying. A fairly typical NAS dram.
Финиш82Medium finish - the alcohol lingers a while, but most of the notes I got on the nose seem to have long since vanished.

A delicate nose, dominated on the palate by a slightly burnt coffee note with dark chocolate and a touch of fruitiness in the background. The finish offers slightly bitter, somewhat tart aromas, reminiscent of nutshells. Overall, it's not very complex and not exciting; poor value for money, far too expensive. €40 would be a reasonable price. Macallan, unfortunately, another disappointment!

Whiskybear70 Expert Senior 84 15 mar 2023 7:02 am
I had wisely not read the reviews before the tasting, I wanted to approach the matter neutrally. And yes, after a longer wait, the aroma lives up to the name of this Macallan: mainly coffee, some caramel/fudge, some oak... on the palate I find the aromas too constructed and too watery. The combination of watery oak and mocha aromas in the mouth combined with a noticeable bitterness does not meet my personal taste. No taste explosion! The finish is also not what I expect from a whisky currently priced at over €200. Disappointing for me personally. There are many whiskys under €100 that are a heck of a lot better.

Нос85This is no doubt a young whisky as it's not hiding notes like dough and stainless steel spoons. On the bright side, you could observe, unripe and crispy peaches and their cores. Over time, the youthful characteristics may diminish. Dominant aromas emerge, such as preserved plums, dried apricots, roasted cashews, and a touch of cherry coke.
Вкус84Diluted sweet prunes and banana candy take the forefront, accompanied by a subtle spiciness of citrus zest. There is a presence of pith and subsequent sour grape peels, with a slightly metallic and cardboard-like background.
Финиш86Grapefruit pith, banana cake, digestive biscuits, custard, and mirabelle plums with their cores. Lingering sweetened nuts and pink cherries to finish.

S 6.5 Not very "intense" given 44%. The nose was promising but the palate feels quite young and underdelivered. 81-85 - Another dram welcomed

Нос85Lindt milk chocolate. Toffee. A whiff of green fruits. Tiramisu. Fragrant oak at the back. Mildly pungent. Drops of water improve the nose further with more Colombian medium-roasted coffee beans notes. Nutty and toasty.
Вкус84Rich, slightly spicy sherry. More spicy & nutty than sweet. Cocoa powder. Chai latte. Whipped cream. Juicy orchard fruit basket. Handful of macadamia nuts. Slightly toasted oak with a touch of bitterness around the edges. Water slightly improves the palate, bringing out the creamy & sweet side of Sherry. A touch of butter spread.
Финиш81Short finish. A touch of cashews and oak lingering

Вкус85In the direction of grape nut chocolate. But not overloaded.
Финиш78Unfortunately, it gets a bit too bitter to get a high rating. Rather short.
FoivosSoueref Expert Senior 83 04 feb 2023 11:13 pm
Tasted two drams of this whisky during a promotional tasting on the Athens Rum & Whisky Festival 2022. I must say I joined the event a bit preoccupied about what Macallan has become the last decade or so, and to be honest my preoccupation got justified. Everything is a marketing game these days at Macallan and Prices definetely do not represent the bottled liquids at all...
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос85Vanilla, old sherry notes, cumin, butter, confectionary sweets. The nose actually is pretty nice and prepares the average whisky enjoyer for a nice ride... although unfortunatelly it is not one at all.
Вкус80The taste is pretty anemic and all the spices and flavours feel watered down. Mint, herbal notes, new wood, pepper... quite spicy but unfortunatelly also short lasting and forgetable.
Финиш83Long tannic aftertaste, lightly bitter unfortunately quite imballanced with the main tasting notes. It tastes like a different whisky, it smells like a different whisky and it has an after taste like a different whisky. I cant deside if its complexity i experience or -simply put- some really bad cask selection.
SwiftyMcVeigh Expert Senior 87 18 apr 2023 7:47 pm
Ignore the price: A delicious whisky. Elegant, as you would expect from Macallan.

Нос88Coffee beans, mocha, toffee, fudge. Tiramisu. Dark fruits and dried fruits. Dark chocolate. Nuts. Sherry.
Вкус88Almost identical to the nose. The oak is discreetly noticeable. Delicate bitter aromas are added, so that it goes in the direction of dark chocolate. The whisky does not need more alcohol volume. Very balanced.
Финиш86Espresso and dark chocolate. medium length.

The palate is still as watery as the other Macallans, always giving the impression of a low-end blend. This impression is reinforced by the unpleasant taste of industrial honey and molasses that manifests itself in the first seconds. You have to wait to finally see a bit of noble character emerge with the notes of mocha and oak to accompany you in a moderately persistent finish.
