This one is a 15yo according to the presentation box. Nose: ah, now its the antiques shop version. It starts all on beeswax, furniture and leather polish, linseed oil, leather... Really beautiful. ‘Grandma’s cupboard’, old schooner’s deck, roasted nuts, toasted brioche... A superb dryness before we get more fruits such as dried dates and figs, dried bananas... Also quite some coffee and toffee. High-end fruitcake. Perfect old Macallan. Mouth: starts a bit like the 15yo but gets then thicker, creamier, more sherried. In short, bold. Loads of Smyrna raisins, fruitcake, prunes, blackcurrant jelly, quince, raspberry liqueur, orange liqueur, a little mint, a little camphor and a little eucalyptus (nutshell: cough syrup). Perfect. Long finish, warming, coating, almost hot after all these years. A radiant old Macallan.
