What's in a name? The Macallan 18 Year Old 1993 Sherry Oak whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled The Macallan 18 Year Old 1993 Sherry Oak whiskey, rather than whisky.
The nose is punchy and of medium-body. There are notes of dry oak and wood shavings, hints of crème de cacao, crème anglaise and marmalade. There are notes of apple blossom and cut flowers. The palate is quite sweet and rich. There are notes of winter spice and Demerara, hints of rum and sherried sultanas, vanilla emegres with cooked appls and cut rosy apples. There are notes of mixed peels. The finish is of medium-length with a solid oak. ...more

Sublime
This one is fantastic. 18-year old and sherry cask matured makes it just about perfect. The best affordable whisky I have tasted.
A wee touch of sulphur in my sample...
... to mar what would otherwise be a wonderfully balanced, sherried dram.
Wonderful
This is a present that myexpressfreight.com gives out to their customers every year- i was lucky enough to receive a case. Very Very Good!
So good...
The nose is pretty peaty, but the taste is oh so sweet. So good it gave me the hiccups. I love this stuff.
