My first Macallan based on a store rec. Definitely wasn't disappointed. The essence from the Sherry was nicely represented. Dried fruits, particularly raisin came to me with the aroma alongside the wood. Taste was fruity sweet with undertones of said wood. Noticeable citrus notes also emerged the more I sipped. Great first testing of the scotch whiskey waters so to speak. I'm intrigued and will look into others in the future.
