Macallan Fine Oak 10 YR
Distillery:  Macallan Distillery, Charlestown of Aberlour, UK
Age: 10 YR
Proof: 40%
Nose:  Clean and crisp. There are some gristy cereal notes with rubbed petals and a pastry note. A milky note emerges with a little marmalade.
Palate:   Smooth and of medium-body. Notes of oily nuts and barley with some bourbon notes. There are hints malt extract and caramel sweetness.
Color: Golden Amber
Notes:  Matured in Bourbon & Sherry Oak Casks. This range has been around for a few years now and seems to have weathered the storm it caused amongst the faithful when it was initially released. "The Fine Oak range is...more approachable, and has the potential to be embraced by a greater percentage of whisky drinkers....cutting back on the sherry reveals more of the Macallan spirit, which is first-class."
