Nose: Toffee and sherry offer the main event. Hints of alcohol saturated dried fruits. Taste: Very soft with bit of a creamy palate. Wee spices and dried fruits on the background. Finish: Fruits and spices with some oak. Smooth and medium length. Balance: Smooth, nicely in balance but no character. Easy to drink but lame. Continues my bad "track record" with Macallan. It just isn't a distillery for me.
