Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak Cask
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed April 30, 2021 (edited May 29, 2021)Almost 2 years open, 1/4 bottle remains. This has just gotten better as I move through the bottle. It now has wonderful, thick, oakiness tempered by dried fruits, nuttiness, orange marmalade, carmel and vanilla notes. It’s semi-sweet and buttery. Finish is lengthy and warm with all the notes above intermingled. -

Found a “Classic Malts Collection” 3 pack at one of my favorite haunts for $39.99, consisting of 200ml bottles of Talisker 10, Caol Ila 12, and Clynelish 14. I can’t add anything beyond what numerous other fine reviews here have said. The nose is very much of the sea with brine and seaweed notes, there is also fresh peat, light vanilla and citrus notes, fantastic oily, coating and rich palate with brine, smoked meats, peat and citrus notes, the medium length finish is slightly peppery.

Clynelish 14 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed April 24, 2021 (edited January 8, 2022)Found a “Classic Malts Collection” 3 pack at one of my favorite haunts for $39.99, consisting of 200ml bottles of Talisker 10, Caol Ila 12, and Clynelish 14. Clynelish is the one I hadn’t tasted before. I can’t add anything beyond what numerous other fine reviews here have said. It’s fruity and sweet with honey and malt, has a great waxy, oily mouth feel, with stone fruits, honey, malt, a little pepper and peat smoke, the medium length finish is slightly peppery. I’ll liked it better with a couple drops of water as it tamed any rough edges. -
