Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Smoke and lots of other weird stuff -- rubbery notes for sure, and definite sherry all over the place. I was surprised to discover this is a Macallan -- it is definitely not a traditional flavor profile for a Mac!

Musty. Lots of nut flavors. Hard to describe, but I like it.

Chris

Carmel and vanilla nose, sherry and molasses, slightly oily long finish.

Andy

n: Musty sherry. Decent.

p: Sweet and dirty. Just like I like my... ah nevermind. as a cask strength it's a bit better balanced then the Mac sherry bombs. I'd drink it again.

7/16/13 - Raised rating from B- to B

Dave

ahh, cask strength Macallan with great sherry depth and not too much of the floral notes that can spring up at times. A great example and it almost got an A-.

Fuji

Sherried with some tobacco smoke but a bit too sulphured for my taste.
