Way inferior to the 15yo, another typical macallan profile, maybe a little boring, but gets the job done. Bottled at 40% On the nose is your typical Macallan: Dulce de leche, chocolate, herbal, twix, toffee, burnt oak and sherry. On the palate it is a little bitter but smooth. Herbal, Toffee, Clove and Ashy notes. Finish is medium with clove and some ashes. Overall this is a normal dram maybe the most standard macallan you can buy, it is cheap (around $50). My score: 78 over 100.
