More like The Macallan 15 Just Fine. This dram reminds me of a Broadway show using the same cast for 15 years. Capable? Absolutely. Talented? No doubt. Provide entertainment? Sure. Passion and soul within that performance? That’s where this one seems to get lost. It just seems kind of soulless. That’s disappointing from a scotch of this caliber. The elements are there. On the nose, rich vanilla with subtle citrus, dried fruits and candied notes. It’s smooth on entry with a medium mouth feel. However, that smooth entry morphs into a bolder heat that is simultaneously calming and harsh at times. This scotch isn’t terrible. In fact, what’s here, makes for some fun discussion. Sadly, it feels like this one is phoning it in or distracted and that keeps it from reaching its full potential. This leaves you feeling short changed for the price of admission. (OOtB September)
