Honey amber in color. Pine, sherry, and vanilla in the nose. This leads to luscious sherry flavors, along with resin, smoke, and white pepper. The peat is quite restrained. Medium to full in body. A long fade of lusty oak. Tasted 6/26/2006.
"The secret of The Macallan lies in defiant adherence to traditional methods and ingredients. The continued use of finest Golden Promise barley and the insistence on the finest oak casks are just two of the pre-requisites for perfection." - From the manufacturer's website.
