Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak

Nose: strong vanilla and a whole heap of classic sherry cask notes like almonds, a little cherry, chocolatey sweetness and oranges. A very gentle saltiness and something like toasted hazelnuts. This dram is ever so slightly oily and underpinned by a delicate wood-smoke that provides great contrast.

Palate: confirms the nose with vanilla, red berries, cinnamon spice and milk chocolate. Really good structure and very drinkable, the smoke holds well.

Finish: good, persistent smoke gives a long and dry finish that closes off the sumptuous mid-palate with aplomb.

Really good whisky this, and it goes down very easily indeed!
