85- Nose
- Creamy. Butter. Sherry.
- Palate
- Firm. Glazed cookies.
- Finish
- Depth of tastiness. Both appetising and satisfying. Maltiness, estery spiciness (ginger?) and just a hint of smoke (I could take more).
- Comment
- Can a malt be both popular and good? Of course, but not if your taste is determined by elitism. (The same applies to musicians, writers, etc).

85- Nose
- Big, with well-balanced sherried notes. Juicy malt, dried fruit (date/fig) Madeira cake. Water brings the sherry notes forward: tea, rubber, oak, but it hasn't taken over.
- Palate
- Rich, weighty. Elegant. Orange and light wood.
- Finish
- Long, oaky and winey.
- Comment
- Great balance between whisky and wood. To be honest I think this is a better Macallan than the Exceptional Cask.
