Comments: 

Another NAS whisky. I can't remember which Macallan expression this one replaced - the 10 year old? The 12 year old? Well, no matter. It's slightly disappointing, it tastes... young. There's a shallowness of flavour, lack of complexity, lack of deep chocolate and fruit notes, instead quite of lot of light yoghurty and bready flavours. OK, no more.

Verdict:

Not bad.
