This is definitly another one for the sherried whisky fans. It's got some lovely oak. It's not entirely too complex, but has some nice structure. There's a lovely honey note.

The Macallan Cask Strength

Color: Deep red-amber.
Nose: Dried fruit, Dark chocolate, Cherry cola.
Body: Fullbodied, Sweet and wet.
Palate: Orange peels, Black cherries, Dark chocolate.
Finish: Simple, but mature with distinct features. Longer than you at first think. Warm and easy.

This whisky is a cherry delight. Full of flavour, it would be too much to drink often. To be savored for desert.

Review by: Gargamel
Color: Copper like a new penny.
Nose: Very subtle. Malt, very slight citrus. Very slight alcohol burn. Fragrant
Body: Smooth and wet. Thin.
Palate: Spicy. Malt, oak. Complex and mature.
Finish: A very long and very spicy finish. Some sour notes in the end, then minty.

This is a very good and easy scotch, but not too easy. It is very complex and mature, and yields surprising amounts of spice.

Nose: Sparse, Arid, Burnt sugar, Lemon.
Body: Well balanced, Thick.
Palate: Grass, Slight banana note, Canned apricot. Sweet and fruity.
Finish: Waxy finish. Long and warm, but light. Finishes clean and cool.

A very pleasant whisky. This should be drank outside during summer, and at Christmas. It makes me hungry for fruit pie and icecream.
