Macallan Exceptional Single Cask 25 Year Old, European Oak Sherry Hogshead Cask, Cask #13921, 2020/ESH-13921/03, 2020, 55.9%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

Raisin and almond pastry make for a rich, sweet start, with ginger and oak spice giving the finish a firmer edge. The notes differ on whether that finish is medium or long, so its length is hard to pin down; its warm, spiced character is the clearest draw.
