Nose
There's a thin veneer of copper coins. A sort of metallic sourness that I usually expect in a Ben Nevis, although it is less dominant in this Macallan and disappears after a little while. There is also plenty of sherried goodness. Not extremely exuberant, but still a fair amount of chocolate, cocoa powder and rum soaked raisins. Oranges make an appearance too, as well as a whisper of aniseed.
Palate
More pronounced sherry influence here. Lots of cocoa, cherry syrup, blackcurrants, raisins and a nice pinch of cinnamon, accompanied by cloves as well. There's some damp wood here too, and even a hint of balsamic.
Finish
Somewhat spicy, before returning to a more earthy, chocolaty finale.
