- Nose
- Fino sherry, with that typical hint of dry acidity. Earthy. Mushroom-like. White peppercorns. Cumin seeds.
- Palate
- Very firm, nutty, maltiness. Dry. Oaky, resiny. Extraordinarily intense.
- Finish
- Big. Herbal. Pepper. Salt. Surprisingly peaty.
- Comment
- When I tasted this bottling, I was shocked by its spiciness. When I had recovered my composure, I gradually began to find it very more-ish.
- Nose
- Fresh, moist dates, toffee apple, herbs and spices. Crystal clear Fino, perfectly sculpted oak.
- Palate
- An immediate caress of sherry then wave of broiling spices pop against the taste buds.
- Finish
- Much more restrained with bigger oaky notes but long and very chewy.
- Comment
- This is simplified summary of a breathlessly complex Macallan. Their finest bottling in years. Magnificent.
