Nose - Dark toffee, dark dried stone fruits, hints of blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, hint of dark cocoa nibs. Taste - Dark dried stone fruits, loads of blackberry, blueberries, dark cherry juice, hints of caramel & toffee, dark honey. Finish - Lingering dark stone fruit sweet, hint of orange zest w/ a light orange pith fruity bitterness, very lightly tannic/drying at the very end. Score - 89/100 Final Thoughts - I'm really hoping I'm not rating this higher than I should after trying the absolutely horrendous Johnnie Walker White Walker, but this is quite nice. Very pleasant, well-balanced nose with the typical Macallan profile. Fantastic sherry casks as Macallan is known for because it's a nicely balanced sherry without being overly syrupy or cloyingly sweet. Nothing offputting from start to finish. I wasn't initially impressed when I first cracked open the bottle, but a few days of air time does help this one greatly. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Yes Would I buy a bottle? - Yes, and I have gotten backups.
