Nose - dark fruits, dark cherry, vanilla, some baked goods, and oddly almost no spice notes. There's a note of some kind of jelly or jelly doughnut or pie going on here at the finish. Really loving that note. Taste - With most sherry bombs I get more oak and dark notes at the end but with this younger sherry bomb the ending is much more sweet vanilla without half the finish. Huge vanilla and caramel..it's bringing in a lot of bourbon notes, but while bourbon when they add sherry it feels like a secondary note, the sherry here integrates amazingly. There is a bit of an oak and just finish note here that's coming up young but while that normally can be either off putting or just leaves me wanting more. I'm digging it with the bourbon notes. I think I'm a fan boy on this one so maybe my score will seem extreme, but of the Macallan's I've had I think this is my hands down favorite. It's oddly enough nearly the cheapest (12 sherry and 10 fine oak were less). No shocker that they watered down the 2018 and increased the price, they must have realized they let this one out at a really good and fair price.
