This is it! This dram makes me a believer in Macallan's potential. Colossal thanks to @Generously_Paul for this glorious sample. The nose has molasses, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, heavy concord grapes, along with some floral properties, and even some subtle smoke. The palate is even better, and brings root beer, sassafras, milk chocolate, raisins, and figs. A very long finish that comes in waves with honey, hazelnuts, cashews, and delicate floral notes. It is almost torturing, and that's why the theme of the dram is "Linger" by The Cranberries. Definitely a 5.0 and without flaws.
