Note
The Macallan 1952 probably would have come 2nd if the nose had scored similar to the palate and finish, it would be unfair to push it any further down the pecking order and it was, along with the Glen Cawdor 1964 the only whisky I gave a 96p for the palate. It is where it is because the nose let it down and had a burnt off note I did not like but the taste was lovely.

91-92 points average

Colour:
Amontilado sherry
Nose:
Absolutely fat and creamy start. Tons of blueberries, blackberries, dark cherries, sweet plum liqueur and sherry flavors. With fine leather, balsamic, tobacco, figs in chocolate sauce, honey and soft wood, this artistic nose is completed!
Taste:
Cherry, wood and salt dominate the taste. The notes are soft on the tongue; Furniture polish, floor wax, old sherry and dry wood and slightly watery cherry / plum juice.
Finish:
Medium long - now worn by woody notes and again with fresh cherry. Unfortunately happens in the finish "Aromentechnisch" seen, otherwise not so much!
