In terms of aroma, I can detect the salty malt scent reminiscent of Macallan's wort. It is not a particularly pleasant scent for me. There is also a scent that smells like some kind of spice, which might be an attempt to evoke the feeling of orchid tea. It is not a particularly good impression. The taste feels quite empty and bland, but there is a slight sweetness from the spirit, and it finishes with a vanilla-like nuance. It’s not very good for me.

The presentation with smoke on the table is beautiful and impressive, but I have a lot of questions about the whisky, as always in this series....

Woody tones, lime, lemon, orange peel, like the woody notes of a moldy bucket, rotten wood, and bloodshot teeth...

I actually think it's well done, but I'm bothered by Macallan's randomness, which also relegates this release to mediocrity...

Underwhelming, bland, flat and pretty forgetful. Slight note of spice and hint of tea and sweet sherry.

Flat and impersonal like many other contemporary Macallans, it could easily be any of the other bottlings in the series, so versatile is it in pairing with the evocations shared by the distillery. Forgettable.

After an initial slight alcoholic sting, the nose reveals the obligatory signs of maturation: red fruits (currants, raspberries, wild strawberries), pink grapefruit, maraschino, nutmeg and black pepper. A background of Rossana sweets, dark chocolate, coffee mousse and hazelnuts. Nothing new on the western front, young and pleasant.

The spices come through, with black pepper, ginger, nutmeg and a touch of cinnamon, driven by a rather lively alcohol content. It echoes the nose, giving more space to cocoa and coffee, with hints of nuts (hazelnut, almond) and malt biscuits. A metallic note appears in the finish.

Rather short, with red fruits, spices, coffee, nuts and malt.

It’s a good looking macallan but definitely not worth the money. The packaging is good, special colour. Colour is relatively pale for a sherry cask scotch. The liquid should be of young age. Good try but not the second time.

It doesn't have many of the distinctive features of Macallan. There's too much hype and marketing. For me, Macallan has become a drink for entertaining guests, rather than something I buy to enjoy with fellow whisky enthusiasts. Will Macallan settle down and focus on making quality products?
