Color: golden.
Aroma: rum baba, freshly cut wood, nectarines, blueberry yogurt, ground black pepper, oatmeal cookies, meringues, sunflower seeds, apricots, lemons, nuts, quinces, baked apples, hay, wool, tobacco, melon, rubber ball. Fruits and confections, very distinct and very impressive.
Taste: honey, cranberries, apricots, lemons, tea, pears, apples, pepper, tangerines, salted caramel, strawberries. Thick, somewhat sweet, but drinks absolutely splendidly.
Finish: honey, apples, lemon zest, tangerines, churchkhela, pepper, salt, mint, medicinal herbs, marshmallows. A bit hot.
Rating: 8 ¾. Better than good. +2+2+1.

Conclusion: oh, this cask is more interesting than its sister one. Many similarities between the two malts, though this one is much clearer and less heavy. Yes, no doubt it’s a "naked" Macallan with only some refill sherry cask influence. 88/100.
