No photo here as it comes from a brown sample bottle, no visual impact. Anyway, I'm sensing there are further and further between the IB Macallans and special bottlings these days, or at least the affordable ones. Are we starting to get close to the aforementioned crack in the whisky market?
Macallan 12yo 2007 45.6 OB Gran Reserva
Brown color on this one. Perhaps some older vintages included in the mix? It smells of sherry, sweet oloroso, nutmeg, cinnamon, red wine, sweet, caramel, old Macallan sherried style. The taste is sweet, "old attic", leather, honey, peppery, orange marmalade, oloroso, cinnamon, boiled herbs/herb stock.The finish is peppery, long, bitter and doesn't follow up the nice palate.
A style that will almost disappear in years to come I'm afraid: 7
Next tasting: Glendronach Distillery
