I wish Distiller had a rating beyond 5 stars. Something called " I'll remember this one 25 years down the line". I honestly can't recall ones I've had a week or two back, but there are my top 5 that I'll remember 25 years later. Those top 5 are experiences that you'll remember for decades. For me, it's been a Brora 30, High West Midwinter, Yamazaki 18, Hibiki 21, and now this Macallan 15 Fine Oak. I need to get a full bottle of this one. Thanks to Davie---not for just a sample, but for one that I'll remember for years to come. The aroma is vanilla and freshly cut oak. Taste follows through nicely with brown sugar, honey, oranges. Really take small sips, you'll savor it more that way. I had it with a small round ice. Bought out more chocolate flavors. Finish is back to the fresh cut oak and orange peels. Definitely need to pick up a full bottle.

i am not a big Macallan fan, but i got to say this 15yo Fine Oak is absolutely marvelous.
Wow...blast from the past. This was years ago. Still, Midwinter, at least the early versions, were my favorites
Sounds impressive! How did High West Midwinter get into that Top 5 though ;)
Your very welcome old boy! It's one of my current top favorites as well, made for my palate, it just resonates with my soul... (I can HEAR my wife rolling her eyes, lol 😂)
Pranay - you've convinced me as well
