Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak Scotch 750ml

The Macallan 18 Year Old

The Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky expression is, the highlight of its regular sherried range. Deep amber in color. The nose is rich and heavily fruited: fruit cake, mulberry, a little moist gingerbread, the bloody depths of molasses.
On the palate, dried fruits — more figgy than raisined — while the natural oiliness in the spirit balances the boisterous tannins from the European oak. A singed note on the finish (an extension of the molasses?) completes the picture. Balanced and complex.
