The Macallan 10 Year Old Fine Oak

The reputation of this series lays with the older editions. 12 YO is not bad but the 10 YO expression is a bit too young, with just a hint of the finish:(

It says this is part of the 'Fine Oak Range' - yet it comes in a glass bottle. What a rip-off!

Fine Oak is really fresh, clean, with a nice balance of oaky/milky tones and fuity ones. A bit more interesting than sherry twin 10yo.

Clean, gentle oak and barley with delicate hint of fruit. Distinctive Macallan spirit comes through.

I love this - I bought it for my granddad.

I hope you're joking mate.

The Mcallan 10 yr single malt is the best produced by far,better flavour, body and after taste than any of the more expensive and longer matured casks,Ifully recommend it.

Could not agree more !!!!

I hope you're joking mate - too funny, must be a joke? On another note was at my friends wedding this weekend and all the male guests were given a 5cl sample of this. Thought it to be a very fine whisky, very smooth to drink, I usually prefer Isaly single malts but this one definitely has potential.

Strangely enough, it's great to see that someone prefers the Fine Oak to the Sherry, because I love the Sherry version and have a great deal of trouble enjoying the Fine Oak version. Let your own debate begin...

6/10, at a push!

This one is understandably not as popular as the 10 year old Sherry Oak, which has the typically sherried Macallan style. The Fine Oak reminds me a bit of a Glenfiddich - i.e. smooth, light, fragrant, not particularly great but not bad either. Doesn't deserve its bad publicity, but a bit unlucky the Sherry Oak range is so great and distinctive by comparison.

Pale and lacking in character, I thought the nose was seriously lacking (definite hints of caramel but I was getting nothing more), although it was strangely robust on the palate. It's nothing special and I wouldn't buy again, although worth noting that I prefer Islay malts and the inherent peatiness they have. Wife thought it was the worst smelling whisky she's ever known. She's not a whisky drinker.

Are they supposed to sell it to you in the cask or something? haha. Macallan is my favorite scotch, and Glenfidich, but this 10 year fine oak sucked. No flavor at all. Almost like it was watered down. I'm looking forward to trying the 17 year fine oak though.

Mediocre at best. Why did Macallan risk their great reputation on this? I had heard although cannot confirm it, that they ran out of sherry casks. Should have tried something else Macallan! It will make me very warey of any future Macallan purchases.

Says it all. Im disappointed with this one and it doesnt happening often im disappointed with whisky..
