This new 15 year old expression is the result of a unique combination of both bourbon and sherry oak casks. The result is an intense Macallan with hints of rose and cinnamon, delivering a lingering finish with hints of orange, chocolate and dried fruit.

Jim Murray rated this whisky a 94, I would have to fully agree. Not all scotch is about PEAT and Smoke, smooth fruit and floral notes are what this scotch is all about.
review by brass14
- 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
