Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak Cask

On the nose: wood with sherry, sherry, sherry. On the palate: wood, sherry, sherry, sherry. Final: medium-long, silky, soft, sweet. What can I say, a whisky of the highest level, excellent, high quality like all Macallans. I didn't find it particularly complex, indeed, a very simple and linear whisky, but for this very good. Just a purely economic evaluation: I'm not sure yet if it is worth the € 300 purchase price, perhaps a € 50-60 less would have made it perfect. I may say a heresy, but the 12 year old sherry oak with its price is not that lower. __________________________________________________________ Al naso: legno con sherry, sherry, sherry. Al palato: legno, sherry, sherry, sherry. Finale: medio-lungo, setoso, morbido, dolce. Che dire, un whisky di altissimo livello, eccellente, alta qualità come tutti i Macallan. Non l'ho trovato particolarmente complesso, anzi, un whisky molto semplice e lineare, ma proprio per questo buonissimo. Solo una valutazione prettamente economica: non sono ancora certo che valga i 300€ di prezzo di acquisto, forse un 50-60€ in meno lo avrebbero reso perfetto. Magari dirò un'eresia, ma il 12 anni sherry oak con il suo prezzo non è poi così inferiore.

Solid at delivering that signature Macallan Sherry that starts with a great nose, but the rest is not incredibly interesting and it’s outrageously priced.

It is a smooth mellow whiskey with a fruity and melon aromas on the nose. On the palate you get good sweetness from the sherry cask and ends with a refined short finish. I enjoyed it neat for this tasting
