Tasting Notes

"The Macallan Edition No. 4's loaded sherry heritage is revealed instantly with walnuts and prunes, citrus peels, apple slices dripping with clover honey, and a dose of rancio funk on the nose. The palate is all rich, sweet sherry upfront, followed by orange zest, spicy oak, and milk chocolate. The finish is drier, with tingly black pepper, astringent oak, and dark chocolate, and finally more citrus, sherry, and fruit in the background. One big sherry bomb all the way through."
