Taster

Nose: Hint of mint. Restrained spices. Very subtle, complex and attractive.

Palate: Extremely syrupy. Herbal. Lightly nutty.

Finish: Familiar sweet, smoky notes and emerging.

Comment: Blindfold, I am not sure I would not recognise this as a Macallan until that familiar finish.

Score: 8.5
