Macallan Double Cask 15 Year

Feliz Navidad my scotch loving family. I’ve been absent far too long. While I’ve enjoyed many a pour since my last tasting note, I have failed in sharing with you. This Speyside has legs that Hugh Hefner would die for, except he’s already dead. Typical bold fruity notes lead this beautiful pour. On sip #4 (not 3, not 5), hints of licorice come alive. If you have the cash, don’t hesitate to pick this one up on your way out of the spirit market - it’s worth it. If you’re strapped for cash, however, it’s ok to wait for that next paycheck - a standard Macallan 12 will do you just fine.

Blond in the glass, sticky and thick in the glass, legs for miles. Sweet, cherries candies on the nose. First sip is briefer than expected, with a lingering warmth. Second sip is even better, third better still. A cold, winter Christmas. Indoors. A dinner of Brussel sprouts and ham balls with a bottle of pinot noir purchased at Target. Sitting in An Làthair Le Caraidean with a friend,the long weekend stretching out before you. Sip, drink, enjoy.
