This is the first edition.
From the label: "An extraordinary range of mature grain and malt whiskey casks from North British, Strathclyde, Carsebridge, 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: Honey, vanilla, berries, oranges, nuts and lemon cake.
Palate: Silky, slightly viscous and oily with sherry notes and vanilla.
Finish: Medium to long and warming with the sherry and lemon cake making a reprise.
This is a tightly wound whiskey that took a long time to open up. Very rewarding though once it did.
Wouldn't buy it at retail, but a great deal at near half of that for a blend which contains however small amount of 33 year old Carsebridge and 30 year old Macallan.
