Macallan 12 year old

Macallan has decided to change up everything. Apparently, according to the information we have received, they've decided to toss off age statements, maybe due to high demand, and just offer a non-age statement blend with pre-judged dollar radios. They're just releasing everything with a made up name, without any statement of age. We're not a fan of this. However, we've had some 12 year old sitting for a couple of years... and have now drank the last shot of it. Yeah, it's been sitting for a couple of years, so it's hard to judge it, but nevertheless its a damn fine scotch.

The nose is strong with caramel and toffee. The sweetness is very strong with a burnt sugar scent, along with vanilla and a sherry note that is very light in the background.

The palate is very similar to the nose, with a delicious smooth caramelized sugar, but with malty undertones.

The finish begins with a medicinal taste that fades quickly into a oak and woody finish, a bit of vanilla and more sweetness. Very smooth and delicious.

It really is a perfect scotch as is. So delicious and smooth you can't say anything bad about it. This was the best scotch ever... unfortunately... now is unavailable and gone forever.

If you see this in a store... BUY IT! It'll probably be your last chance to get hold of it.
