Macallan Rare Cask

Apple notes, smooth, warm bodied, slight smoky finish

Really nice, though not amazing enough to justify the price. Very similar to the 18 yo in my opinion, woody and complex. 93

On the nose, berries, dates, milk chocolate, orange peel, honey, old leather and the mustiness of an old book store. There was a faint sulfur smell when I opened the bottle. I took about three drams out, let it oxidize for a couple of weeks, and the sulfur was gone the next time I opened it. On the palate, I get everything I got on the nose, and it is oh so rich. This was a fun bottle to take my time with over about 5-6 months. I will probably buy another bottle at some point in the future.
