Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak Cask

A good whisky, the sherry is prominent. Some tasters mention sulfur, but I don't taste that. Macallan 12 was my first Scotch whisky. It's a good place to start, especially if you find the peaty, smoky Islay whiskies a bit off putting.

This is a sweet Scotch, with fruit, honey and vanilla notes. Maybe a hint of ginger in there.

Pronounced smokiness and medicinal (iodine) notes are in the forefront of the nose. On the palate, a rich smoked pepper steak, salty seaweed, some dark fruits, old tar ropes, smoke, and it just keeps going. The balance between the smokiness and savory richness is fantastic. Very good!
