Macallan 25 Year Sherry Oak Cask
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed April 15, 2020 (edited June 1, 2022)Got sample of this from a friend. 2018 edition. Indicates this was distilled around 1992 1993ish, meaning it was made just before Macallan reduced golden promise barley ratio in 1994. Nose: Raisins, Prunes, Cherries, Dates, Chocolate Oranges, Apples, Flowers, Cinnamon, Pepper, Meats, Vanilla Palate: Raisins, Toffee, Cherries, Chocolate, Oak, Pepper, Meats, Figs Finish: Flowers, Oak, Raisins, Chocolate, Pepper Great stuff but feel it is underwhelming compared to its potential and price. Had this side by side with Glengoyne 25 and found the Glengoyne 25 to be better.
