Not being the best Macallan fan out there, i got to admit that every time a have a 15yo expression from this distillery, i get really impressed. This is the Triple Cask Matured, 2018 release, which i believe it has replace the 15yo fine oak one, or maybe i am mistaken.
Bottled at 43%abv, golden color.
On the nose, it was breathtaking. Super aroma of raisins; super aroma of sawdust, super aroma of hazelnut. Smells exactly like a power bar; dates, butterscotch and nuttiness was spectacular. Wedding cake, chocolate dry cake. Just incredible.
On the palate it was delicious. Chocolate cake, dry dates, nutty. The tobacco note is awesome.
Aftertaste was very good, although it is the part of this whisky with less points. Tobacco, dry grass, oak spice. Sawdust. Medium long.
Overall, this has the Macallan DNA all over it, but in a good way (Lol). I believe this is a great offering, and of course is a lot mlre expensive that most 15yo, but if you want to buy a Macallan because you care to impress people and like the brand, i recommend you to pick this one. My score is 93 over 100.
