Darkness! Macallan 15 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish

(50cl, 52.3%)

Darkness! Macallan 15 YO Bottling Note

What happens when you place some delicious Macallan single malt in 50 litre first-fill Pedro Ximénez casks for an additional 3 months? Good things. Good things happen. Even in this short period, the greater surface area to volume ratio of these casks allowed greater interaction between liquid, wood and air, and produced a whisky with more concentrated and richer fruit notes and Sherry influence.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: Fig rolls and honeyed fruit salad, dry raisins, a hint of Campino strawberry cream sweets and Weetabix covered in sugar.

Palate: Decent grip with more Weetabix, blackberry, fresh apricot, dates, hazelnut and slices of red apple.

Finish: Long with fragrant fruit, sultana, frangipane, a little fino Sherry and lingering dark caramel.

Overall: Attractive cereal, some good, clean Sherry and all manner of fruits in here. The Darkness is your friend.
