This is the second edition.
From the label: "An extraordinary range of mature casks, including Glenfarclas, Ben Nevis, Balvenie, Kininvie, Glenfiddich, Alt-a’Bhainne, Auchroisk, Glenallachie, Westport, Speyside and (of course) Macallan distilleries, were blended and married in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts..."
Nose: Berry crumble, honey, a hint of orange liquor, amaretto and peat smoke.
Palate: slightly viscous and oily, hazel nuts, sherry notes and vanilla.
Finish: Medium to long and warming with a very pleasant sherry/amaretto note.
Every time I try this, I like it a little better.
Would probably never have bought this at suggested retail, but a certain on-line retailer in Orange County had this on sale for near half of that, which makes it a steal, especially for a blend which contains however small amount of 30 year old Macallan.
