Appearance: Looking in upon this delight one finds a light copper color and really thin semi-viscous legs. Nose: The nose is complex and beautiful and very sweet. It starts off with notes of vanilla latte, toffee, caramel and honey, dark chocolate, and sugar cookies. It also has notes of wood chips, dried leaves, fruity plums and raisins, cherries, green grapes or champagne, salted almonds and walnuts, and a floral note in there to wrap it all together. Taste: The palate is delicious but to me not quite as complex as the nose. It possesses a maltiness, some oaky dryness, some notes of honey, clove, sweet corn, and a lemony tang. Finish: After a twinge of heat, the finish starts with that light citrusy zest, then turns oaky and dry while transitioning simultaneously into a fresh clove spice. Thoughts: Dang, this scotch is impressive! I was expecting this to be delicious, but not bold and exciting. I found that I was wrong: this complex whisky was very friendly but also had a lot of depth to it! I would definitely recommend! Macallan, you do good work! Keep it up! Sláinte!
