Macallan Enigma

как будто сладкой вишней еще в конце заел

Nose - Rich balanced caramely/sherry influence, juicy raisins/prunes, caramel, vanilla, hint of dark apple juice, dark dried apricots. Taste - Bit thin initially & a bit drying, light peppery spice, dark stone fruit sweet, dark raisins, tiny hint of bitterness like the stray grape vine stems left on raisins Finish - Lingering dark dried stone fruit sweet, but not overly or cloyingly sweet, bitterness gently fades, very long lasting finish, slightly metallic dried fruit sweetness goes in & out Score - 89/100 Final Thoughts - Kind of hate to admit this but this is very well balanced from start to finish. Macallan knows a thing or two about a good sherry cask matured Scotch and this shows it. Nice not too cloyingly sweet sherry influence with what I kind of get to be a toasted cask where I get nice fruity caramelized sugar notes throughout without being too sweet somehow. Very easy to drink with a tiny hint of tingle on the palate. Doesn't taste young, but at the same time doesn't taste like a super aged Scotch either, so I'm sure there's some blend of young and old in this one and it's done beautifully. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - Probably not at the prices it's currently priced at

I tasted this on a Celebrity Cruise during a tasting event in April 2019. This is by far the best scotch I have ever tasted! The almond, and floral notes were suttle and the hints of ginger and pear were hidden to me until another connoisseur pointed them out. while Mcallan doesn't advertise the age of this, the sommelier assured us it was at least 18 years old.

As nice as the Terra.
