Macallan Edition No. 4

I really like this Macallan. Some sweetness and spice, extremely smooth finish Update: After being open a bit the taste is not quite as good. Still very good, just not as good as originally rated

NOSE: 92/100. You get all the wonderful aroma of the classic Macallan sherry notes with no hint of sulphur and more complexity. Dark/rich manuka honey, sweet rum raisin, vanilla, hazelnut, and figs. PALATE: 93/100. Complex flavors layered in a leathery texture. Gingerbread cookie, Godiva chocolate, butterscotch, caramel, and a dash of ginger spice that’s milder than Edition 2. This dram is so easy to drink, yet complex in flavors. It does not taste like it’s 48.4% ABV. FINISH: 93/100. Long sweet finish with a touch of sweet cinnamon with hints of lemongrass, and creamy vanilla. OVERALL: 93/100. I did not conduct a side-by-side taste test with #Edition2 and #Edition3, but based on my memory, I prefer Edition 4 among the 3. I have not tried Edition 1. VFM: This is the highest score I’ve given for a #NAS #singlemalt so the retail price of $100 USD is worth it. Check out WhiskyReview.com for more single malt and blended whisky reviews!
