Macallan 12 Year Triple Cask Matured

A- amber + 1, high viscosity N- sweet (honey, vanilla), fruity ( tangerines, baked apples, pears), cereal ( barley malt), wet oak P- light spicy oak- cereal arrival ( weird was not expecting this since the nose gave me a different expectation), half full, half rich, oily, sweet (vanilla, honey, chocolate malt), fruity (baked apples, pears, plums), cereal, walnuts, oak F- short finish, sweet-oaky-cereal aftertaste C- I prefer the double oak and sherry oak over this one, weird how the nose is different from palate (or maybe it’s me) good for everyday sipping

This 12 year Triple Cask has got the Macallan house flavor with malty figs, orange peel and spice but some bitterness works its way into the palate/finish. I think its maybe too much messing around with the casking. It is lighter and less full bodied/rich than the other 12's. Its still tasty cause its Macallan but I would no way repurchase. Double Cask 12 and even more so the Sherry 12 are the way to go.........79/100....Im a bit disappointed by this one

N: strong vanilla, sweet fruit, flowers, hints of butterscotch, a nice white wine P: sweet fruit takes over, some honey, vanilla takes a back seat but is still present, the wine comes back, some apricot maybe, very charming F: the wine takes over, some spice but really just a bit of a burn that sizzles out into a dark fruit melody, lingering for a bit

the power and strength of the barrels is more than I expected, I wanted and could immediately fall in love, I have to take a bottle, not just one dram. cocktail of sweet vanilla, overripe dark grapes, bright oak, creamy 12 years old. a very long aftertaste that makes it difficult to continue eating beef tongue

A sweet aroma talks right off the bat. Anise peeks through a vanilla-based flav and subtle complexity. Actually, in its taste the triple oak becomes more prevalent. Slightly oily. Heavily tasty. Water droplets open up the palate which explored a sugary tint. Smooth finish, which makes it easy to drink.

Contrary to ither reviews I don’t find this especially smooth nor sweet. The nose has a sharpness that is also in the palate and though there are raisin notes and light smoke I would say this is a far cry from some of the almost sticky sweet, spicy single malts that are a delight on a cold winter.
