THE MACALLAN 17 YEARS FINE OAK SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Sherry sweetness and spice, creme brulee.

the sherried sweetness and some spice carry over from the nose. The whisky is big and creamy. A delicate, charred smokiness permeates the dram More like a wood smoke than the coal smoke of Islay whiskies.

The big, creamy taste that The Macallan is famous for, with an added layer of complexity from the delicate charred smokiness.  I love smoky whiskies, and I love the big creaminess of the Macallan.
