The Macallan 30 year old Fine Oak, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2006 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
The whisky is quite fruity (green grape, orange, tangerine, and dark cherry), with balancing notes of vanilla, roasted nuts, and a hint of peat. Dry, lightly spicy finish that lingers. It is complex and nicely balanced for a whisky of this age. Still, I feel the 15 year old Fine Oak edition is better and, at $65, one-tenth the cost.
