The Macallan Ruby. Image courtesy The Macallan. This 1824 Series whisky has a sweet nose with honey and caramel candy notes balanced by a good oakiness, dried apples and apricots, and hints of ginger and nutmeg. The taste is sweet and spicy with clove, orange peel, ginger, nutmeg, touches of figs and raisins, and a great oakiness. The finish carries over that oakiness, along with lingering spices and citrus touches that fade slowly. (May, 2013)
