Macallan Double Cask Gold

Light and floral upfront. The first thing you notice is how sweet this whisky is, you can taste the sherry influences, but the main takeaway is sweetness. There’s a lot of vanilla and a little dark chocolate as the flavours develop. The medium short finish is still sweet and slightly spicy. Overall, this is not very complex or nuanced. It’s sweet, sherried and with a good amount of vanilla. An easy to drink and very accessible dram.
