    Color
    amber
    Nose
    Light oak, freshly bailed hay, pears, smoke at the end
    Body
    Full, slightly oily, smooth
    Palate
    Sweet, caramelized brown sugar with banana, there's a really nice earthyness that I can't put my finger on here, citrus at the end and a soft burn
    Finish
    Perfect finish, doesn't wear out its welcome, warming, no harsh burn really smooth

    I tried this whiskey because of the high reviews, I was definitely not disappointed, its perfectly balanced and well rounded smooth and easy to drink, what a treat.

    Color
    thick apple juice
    Nose
    Plums, subtle wood, almost floral
    Body
    Surprisingly heavy, mouth filling
    Palate
    The sea, salty and cool, floral like jasmine rice, the oak is soft and remains hidden at first very little burn, dried apricots and a hint of pears
    Finish
    Deep but short finish very light on the burn but not on warmth, like sitting in front of a fireplace in your favorite chair on a cold night

    Well worth the price, very easy to drink right from the start this is a comforting scotch smooth and mellow very refined, The Macallan never disappoints

    Color
    warm golden
    Nose
    Leather, unnamed fruit, cooling alcohol
    Body
    Silky, heavy, slightly oily
    Palate
    Grapefruit, like sitting in a grove in summer warm, mild and slightly earthy, caramel and molasses
    Finish
    A moderate finish just the right burn, grapefruit stays with you

    A simple (in a good way) and satisfying whiskey, great mouth feel, soft and warm quite refreshing, you may have to search this jameson out but it is well worth it one of my favorite irish whiskeys
