I was fortunate to get to try this very rare expression (only 200 bottles were produced and packaged in Lalique crystal) at a Macallan masterclass in Las Vegas at the Nth Whisky Experience in March 2015. The sample was a little small (no surprise there) so I am recording these notes more for historical record than anything else. The nose is fruity and delicious with toffee and dark chocolate. The taste is rich and creamy with more toffee, pepper and classic Oloroso sherry notes. The finish is also very sherry led. A fantastic tasting dram for sure and generous of Macallan to pour at a tasting event.
