This Macallan completely different from current Macallan

Flavor, Color, Viscosity, Alcohol content, Taste, this whisky is different from [current Macallan 12year]

very strong sherry, natural sherry, flavor like nuts.

As this whisky has a strong alcohol content, there is a bit of stimulating. But it doesn’t taste artificial, very natural. So, it has a bit of astringency or acidic taste.

Also, Words couldn’t describe it. So this whisky has rich sweet, flavor and so.

Although I only drink it one time, maybe… this whisky is worth more than the price. 🙂
