This 12 year old Gran Reserva whisky by Macallan was bottled at an ABV of 45.6%. Macallan is perhaps the most critically-acclaimed distillery ever, both as a longtime favorite of blenders in search of top notes & more recently as a standout in the increasingly competitive market for single malts. Nose: Dry but robust, fragrances of orchard fruits & herbal teas with an underlying sweetness Palate: Flowery notes coming through, infusions of dried berries & sultana. A full bodied, oily & rich sherry. Finish: Long & powerful, just what youd expect with a strong Macallan.
