The Macallan 12yo
by Paul Arthur on Apr.27, 2009, under single malt, spirit, whisky
Background: Matured entirely in ex-sherry casks, this Speyside whisky is the most widely available of the many, many expressions the distillery produces.
Nose: Lightly smoky, with vanilla, dried citrus peel, and raisins.
Taste: Rich dried fruit, gingery spice, a bit of sweetness, then a middling amount of smoke in the finish. Nice long finish.
Overall: Lots of sherry influence, very smooth and sippable.
