Remember when i told you that i won 10 bottles in the most amazing Whisky Auction ever? Well, the second whisky i opened was this Macallan 20yo, 1984 Signatory Vintage, Cask Strength. Mr. Richard Gooding never got to open this bottle from "the perfect collection" and now an ecuadorian got the opportunity to do it :) If you get the words "Macallan", "20 years", "Cask Strength" on the same label, you know this one is quite an expensive juice. The former owner of Pepsi had the most incredible Macallan collection ever and this baby could be one of the most complex ones. Bottled at 55.9%abv, Tawny color. On the nose, a fantastic aroma. Starts with chocolate and Nutella notes. Hazelnut, oranges and Drambuie liquor. Coffee beans and cinnamon powder. Very powdery actually, milk chocolate. After a sip, it released citric notes; but also Moon Pie. Caramel cookies. On the palate, it was far from your normal Macallan, and very powerful. Starts with an amazing red chilli note, then red fruits. Chocolate, dulce de leche, oranges, salt and tobacco. Aftertaste was not too complex, but very delicious. Coffee, ginger, sulphur and salt. Long and persistent. Overall, this is a beautiful dram, from a super hard to get bottle, with tons of history. It doesn't feel like overly potent due to its 55.9%abv, and it is sweet and spicy. Great whisky but nowhere near to its current value in the market (if you happen to find it), my score for it is 93 over 100. Sláinte!
