Nose: Faint, dark sweetness, blossom, hints of sherry.
Flavour: Smooth, chocolate, slightly spicy, figs, salty, some butter. Pleasant finish.
Body: Oily, round, slightly creamy, charming, quite dynamic finish.
Comments: It might be a complex marriage of different types of casks, but the effort was well worth it. Should be the default Macallan in my book.
