@cascode funny! I wish that’s what Macallan officially went with…stripper series !
Nice tasting notes. I'm a fan of the Macallan "stripper series" (Ruby, Sienna, Amber ...). They were all unusually fruity and vibrant for Macallan whiskies, and IMHO one of the last gasps of greatness the distillery achieved. Contemporary 18 and 15 yo are OK, but oh the prices, and everything is multiple casking now. The days of straightforward 100% seasoned European oak are gone :-(
