- Earthy, nutty, sherry.
- Palate
- Rich, big. Orange toffee. Lively.
- Finish
- Long, peppery, spicy. All spice.
- Comment
- With its distinctly reddish chestnut colour, this is clearly well sherried. An uncomplicated, robust, Macallan. Simply delicious.

- Nose
- A little slick undiluted: apple, resin and orange. Water brings out rubber, fruits, nuts, orange peel and treacle. Autumnal.
- Palate
- Slightly slick sweet note. Youth and high alcohol combined makes it a pretty lively mouthful.
- Finish
- Lemon balm, pepper and sherry notes, then alcohol heat. After the fires die there's dry wood, liquorice and soot.
- Comment
- Fiery. Alcohol dominates too much for me.
