Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: a fine balance of earthy and decadent notes; there's some orange, cedar and cracked walnuts with some leather and dried fruits.

Palate: very honeyed and still earthy, more cedar with some damp musty old oak; a touch vegetal with some leaf litter, overall the whisky is quite sweet and honeyed with an abundance of dried fruits developing; leather and spice develop with the whisky becoming darker; but then it softens again with melons and cream.

Finish: licorice, and lots of it, more dried fruits, spices and fading leather with coating honey reemerging late in the game.

Comment: for a moment I feared disappointment, but with each sip came new layers and more confidence; not your typical Macallan, but a lovely dram.
