Macallan Elegancia 12 Year

You can tell this is a top-tier whiskey just by looking at the bottle. It was certainly the case here. This out-of-production bottle is only available online and costs a lot, but it's worth every penny. Bottled at 40% ABV with a tawny hue. Nose: Fantastic! Cough syrup, brown sugar, toasted caramel, orange candy, lemon, some floral hints, and crème brûlée. Palate: ALSO fantastic. Tobacco, ashes, oranges, a pleasantly smooth texture, old wood, almonds, and a very long, mouth-watering finish. Elegant, VERY VERY ELEGANT, which explains the "elegancia" name. Overall: 100 out of 100. Absolutely stunning, potent, refined, fragrant, and magical. If you can find it, buy it. Cheers.

Smooth, vanilla, and oaky on the nose, which is lighter than the taste. A very easy drinker. It still has the same dry, ash-like aftertaste as the current Macallan. I enjoy it.

A lot of aged wood upfront, masking a sweet mix that leaves a lasting peppery sensation.

1992, bottled 2004. Sweet sherry and oak, with a good length to the finish.

After two additional years of aging, the result is outstanding.

Extremely smooth
