Comments:


Mmmm... a brandy-like sherried monster (I did check to make sure it wasn't brandy, embarassingly enough). In addition to the waves of caramelised concentrated fruit, there are some very appealing roast meat notes in the nose and on the tongue. Excellent whisky, lifts my opinion of Macallan.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
