October 6, 2022 (edited August 8, 2023)
A- amber +2, high viscosity
N- sweet (honey, toffee, milk chocolate, brûlée) fruity (orange, raisins, plums, apricots), barley, wet oak
P- elegant spicy arrival, full, rich, oily, sweet ( Milk chocolate, caramel, cream brûlée, vanilla), licorice, fruity (oranges all over the place, raisins, plums), walnuts, barley, wet oak
F- medium to long finish, sweet-fruity- oaky aftertaste ( chocolate and oranges still lingering )
C- ok somehow I feel I'm going to get some push back from my fellow distillers here, I'm not a Macallan fan because I believe they are overpriced and I believe there are better options out there with good fair market value BUT this one at this ABV it's good, elegant, smooth and tasty

Excellent review, notes are on point with what I recall from this one. I just noticed you commented on my Ed. 6 post many months ago and had to check this out. Great review
@hvalbuena no pushback. Macallan is overpriced and overrated , resting on their laurels from 30 years ago
