Macallan 1982 18 Year Old Sherry Oak w/cylinder 700ml

Nose
Fresh oranges and berries (blueberry and black currant) and cherries.Dancing with orange peel, raisins and many different jams (i.e. dark plum jam, cherry jam, even a little apricot jam).Getting round surprisingly quick with a most pleasant subtle Sherry cask spiciness throughout - never too much, always in harmony. Old earthy notes (maybe even mushrooms) and a little maltiness. Scouring powder, leather, chocolate, also some cocoa powder, coffee. Maybe disappearingly faint hints of peat.

Taste
Fresh berries, jams, orange juice and peel.Some vanilla, not very much maltiness.Marzipan pralines, cocoa powder, coffee grounds, leater and some old wood later with earthy undertones.Interestingly fresh.

Finish
Old Sherry casks with orange peel and scouring powder. Later raisins and roasted malt.Leather again, coffee grounds, dark chocolate and hints of pralines. The wood is very pleasant, just round and balanced but with a nice tartness.

Founded in 1824 in the heart of Speyside, The Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then it has built a reputation as one of the world's leading single malt whiskies.
From its founding, through the subsequent owners of The Macallan distillery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and into the present century, The Macallan has been recognised for its outstanding quality above all else. Today this remains the foundation for the worldwide fame of The Macallan.
