Nose
it seems that this old Macallan is a very fruity one. Starts on some rather beautiful notes of ripe apples and strawberries, goseberries and even raspberries, and gets then much spicy/oaky (ginger, cinnamon, aniseed). Its also a little bubblegummy, which is sort of funny. Keeps developing for quite some time after that, getting more 'acidulated' (lemon, kiwi, tangerines), with also quite some vanilla. By the way, no sherry whatsoever in this one.
Palate
very good news, this one isn't too oaky despite its age and the very low strength. No tannins infusion, rather some beautiful notes of dried oranges, dried ginger, figs, quince jelly (luv' that) and marzipan plus crystallised lemon zests and vanilla fudge. A few tea-ish notes from the wood but it's more an asset here.
Finish
medium long but rather complex, a bit woodier now, faintly sour but also more candied and toffee-ish.
