-
Intro:
Macallan 25yr is a particularly expensive release in Macallan's already expensive portfolio. Matured for 25 years in sherry casks, this should be quite a treat for drinkers.
-
Nose:
Sweet toffee, some honey, almond and then the fruits arrive. Blackberry, currant, rich berry notes and raisin bread.
-
Taste:
Moderate mouth feel with plenty going on. Ethanol is right on. Sweet cream, raisin bread, toffee, currant and more stewed fruits. Just enough pepper to keep balance. Oak is just right.
-
Finish:
Long opulent finish with plenty of sherry character here. Jammy all day long.
-
Overall:
This combination of raisin bread, toffee, chewy jammy currants and honey is delightful, without a sign of overoaking.
