What's in a name? The Macallan 15 Year Old Fine Oak whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled The Macallan 15 Year Old Fine Oak whiskey, rather than whisky.
The nose is quite subtle and of medium-body. There are notes of rich, lush stone fruits and Bramley apple, a hint of peel and some Calvados notes. There are some dry wood notes with a definite mustiness. The palate is quite full and round with plenty of bourbon notes. The winter spices and vanilla crème abound with a chewy oak underlying. A little dark chocolate appears. The finish is of medium-length with dry oak. ...more

Back to Form at Macallan!
In recent years there has been a definite lowering of standards at that Mecca of Speyside distilleries - Macallan. You can usually tell when a previously great disillery goes off the boil by the number of 'special editions' and different wood finishes it begins to employ! The staple 10 yo and 12 yo became very bland. This expression however proves Macallan can still compete & compare with the best. Classically smooth, rounded and balanced. Welcome back!

You spelled thevword "wood" wrong. Tacky and shoddy looking.
