Nose: Heavy sherry, dried nuts, nectarines and butterscotch. Quite magnificent! Palate: Creamy, starts off with a surprising bit of spice that transforms into honey, citrus, almonds and a fainter sherry note. Finish: Almonds, light spice and vanilla Overall: The nose is truly something special, and the taste lives up to half of that... On the taste, I would not have guessed that this is a all-sherry cask, so you know... when it comes to Macallan, less-sherried is usually not a compliment. For $100 CAD, it’s not on my top list.
