Whisky - Macallan 10 year 1993/03 Duncan Taylor 46%

This expression of Macallan was bottled by Duncan Taylor in the Whisky Galore series from a sherry cask and only cost £22.

Nose:  rubber sulpha and spices.  A poor cask or maybe second fill?  

Pallet: the rubbery impression clings on but not really unpleasantly but a fruitiness comes through bringing the sweetness of a good quality new make spirit and sherry.

Finnish:  a little tangy but not unpleasant.  I’d say refreshing.

Comments:  an inactive or poor first fill cask.  Could have done with a few more years.  I have a bottle of the standard 10 year old version in Ipswich and its much better than this.
