  • Macallan Fine Oak 15 Year

    Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

    Reviewed March 2, 2015
    4.0
    4.0 out of 5 stars
    Sweetness from dried fruits, like plums and cherries, dominates the nose with a hint of cinnamon spice as well. The first sip introduces chocolate and some orange citrus flavors, as well as delivering on the dried fruit from the nose. Fairly smooth finish, with a hint of spice and even more dried fruits. Love it.

    Sweet honey and pear on the nose. Tossed grain, fruit, and a touch of vanilla and smoke on the pallete. Nice a smooth on the long-lasting finish, with just a hint of spice. More like 3.5 stars, at least.

    Sweetness of honey and vanilla on the nose, with just a subtle hint of peat. The sweetness follows through to the palette, with an earthy peatyness that appears on the finish. Fairly smooth, with a bit of spice. I'm a fan!

    Peaty, smokey, oily, sweet, and yet funky all at the same time. There's a lot going on in the nose and on the palate and I love every bit of it!

    I smell and taste a lot of the same flavors as in the Laphroaig Quarter Cask, but they're all notably smoother and mellower. Delicious peaty flavors mix with hints of floral notes and stone-fruit sweetness. A damn fine dram!

    Ahhh, that peat. It definitely dominates the nose and palate, but also features a nice sweetness of honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. A touch of cinnamon in there as well. A good spice on the finish, with a hint of bitter chocolate coming through at the end.

    More like 3.5/5. Light smoke, caramel sweetness, vanilla, and figs on the nose. Moderately buttery/oily in the mouth, with hints of light smoke and chocolate on the palate. A pleasant finish with a mild spice that faded fairly quickly for me.

    Don't let the rather pungent nose throw you, this is a fairly smooth scotch, with hints of spice, wood, and the sea on the palate. It finishes smooth, but relatively quickly too. Not great, but not actively bad either. What would be 3/5 becomes 2/5 due to the price - it's just not worth that much, IMO.

    Fruity on the nose, sweet on the palate, and smooth on the finish. What's not to love?

    The delicious, ashy scent of a campfire comes out as soon as you open the bottle. This dominates the nose, but there's a touch of citrus and sweetness as well - even a bit of fruit in there. The smoke delivers on the palate with a touch of sweetness as well. It all finishes with a relatively mild, yet nice spice.
