The Macallan 1824 Series Gold Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a discontinued, no-age-statement expression known for its light, citrus, and vanilla notes, which has since been replaced by the The Macallan Double Cask Gold.

The Macallan 1824 Gold was part of a series that focused on the natural color derived from maturation in sherry-seasoned oak casks. The flavor profile is generally described as accessible and smooth.

• Color: Burnished gold / rich gold.
• ABV: 40%.
• Nose: Aromas of lemon citrus, orange peel, vanilla, dark chocolate, green apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
• Palate: Dominated by citrus and boiled sweets, with hints of ginger and cinnamon, soft oak tones, and toasted apples. Reviewers have also noted flavors of toffee, malt, and a touch of leather and violets.
• Finish: Medium sweet, malty, and slightly dry, with lingering notes of vanilla and a touch of fresh tobacco. It has a long and elegant finish, leaving a gentle impression of vanilla, oak, and dried fruit.

The whisky has received mixed reviews, often considered a good, approachable dram for newcomers to single malts, but sometimes criticized by seasoned enthusiasts for being less complex than previous age-statement Macallan releases.

• Many reviewers praise its smoothness and balance.
• It is often described as a pleasant and easy-drinking whisky.
• Some critics have called it "inoffensive and 'accessible'" but felt it did not live up to The Macallan's traditional standards or price point.

As the Macallan 1824 Gold is a discontinued product, it can be difficult to find and is primarily available through specialty retailers and auction sites. Prices can vary significantly. Its replacement, The Macallan Double Cask Gold, is more widely available.
