Nose: Toffee notes with some polished oak. A real depth here revealing ginger,\rspice and a little nutmeg.
Palate: That spice note explodes in the mouth,drying slightly on oak.
Finish: Long and lingering with a suggestion of smoke.
Comment: Yet again Macallan on form. Great interplay with oak and spice.
Score: 8.2
Taster
Nose: Mince pies, orange fruits, nutmeg and ginger.

Finish: Nicely balanced mix of fruit,spice and oak.
Comment: Everything that a Macallan should be.
Score: 8.5
