Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak Cask

Sherry oak smell, the spice is perfect, somewhat sweet like Maple​ syrup as well. very good.

Sun dried dates, plums, vanilla and clementine rind on the nose. Medium bodied, with a medley of raisins, semi-sweet chocolate, bursts of orange and cinnammon spice on the palate. Fairly long and spicy finish with rich tannins and butterscotch aftertaste. Overall, this whisky is fragrant, tasty, complex and balanced, but not $325 CAD good.

Strong figs on the nose. Intense maltiness that is balanced by a bright something I can't quite place. Surprisingly smoky on the tongue. Some raisins, zest, and spice, but mostly dried figs. Finishes with a slight bitterness, like cacao. 10/18/17
