| Another Christmas addition |
Macallan 10 Year Old Sherry Oak (40%, OB, bottled 2011, 70cl)
Speyside Single Malt Whisky
Circa £25
The second of my two Macallan 10 Year Olds received for Christmas from my wife. This was an absolute bargain at just under £17.00 at our local supermarket. This is also another one from Ian Buxton’s excellent book 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die
The flagship of The Macallan sherry oak range in the UK market, The Macallan 10 Year Old has become a benchmark for single malt of the highest quality.
This 10 Years Old is matured exclusively in Spanish oak sherry casks, to deliver a deep, rich, deliciously smooth and well-rounded flavour, with a slight sweetness and touch of sherry and wood.
Its deep colour, like that of all of its siblings, is achieved wholly naturally without the addition of any colouring.
Colour: A pale golden amber, though remarkably darker than the Fine Oak
Nose: A lovely hint of sweet toffee balanced with dried fruits and sherry, spice and wood
Palate: Smooth and creamy, nutty with dried fruits, rich sherry sweetness and wood smoke.
Finish: Dried fruits, sweet toffee and lingering and soothing wood spices and soft peat
I am certainly enjoying this quality whisky from The Macallan and is a worthy addition to my collection and my whisky journey.
