TASTING NOTES – MACALLAN 12 SHERRY CASK

Nose

Sherry, vanilla and red fruits, with the cherry being the protagonist. Then raisins and wood, enriched by nuances of cocoa. Leaving it a while in the glass, it exhibits also a mix of hazelnut and walnut.

Palate

Warm and round. It releases notes of wood, cocoa, and red fruits; once again the cherry is in forefront. In the background, hints of vanilla.

Finish

Medium persistence. There are cocoa and hazelnut.

Overall, the Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak delivers an intense, warm, and enveloping dream. It is balanced and fairly complex considering that it is “only” a 12 years old Scotch. That said, this is a classic.
