Macallan 60 Lalique Edition IV

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 53.2%

Score: 95 Points

This 2011 release is the fourth in a series of Lalique decanter expressions, and the nose is peatier than modern-day Macallans with notes of cinnamon, baked apples, oak, and a subtle fruitiness. The taste is mouth-filling, vibrant, and smoky with notes of black tea and dark-chocolate covered cherries. The finish is very long and smoky with a touch of cherries. Outstanding!
