Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak Cask (Old Bottling)

I find this to be good, that is, not bad, but not something that brings me back for more. The term “plain vanilla” is overused for flavors, but I think it really pertains to this bottling. This is smooth, predictable, and just kind of ok. There is no edge to it that defines its flavor profile, it tastes like scotch. If you have a friend who is “afraid” of drinking scotch, this might be a safe approach to it.

This stuff is the smoothest. I love it.

Nose: burnt butterscotch, plain oatmeal, pastry dough Taste: Fuck of a dry aged steak at the end, mild spice, smooth, it really reminds me of a wheaten bourbon...but it shouldn’t?

Still waiting for a sherried Scotch I like. Very sherry, very fruity. Just doesn’t combine well.

Dark chocolate finish, oak, creamy mouth feel.
