Small stills, BIG Scotch.
 
Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the "Big 3" distilleries in Scotland. Fortunately, they have achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. Their achievements are numerous — including setting the record price ever paid at auction for a single bottle of Scotch. They produce a very broad range of world-class single malt Whiskies that have a huge global following.
 
If you are a fan of The Macallan, you might expect the Fine Oak series to share those familiar characteristics. The spirit is there, but the Fine Oak line is a bit different... you may be surprised, but you will not be disappointed. The entire Macallan Fine Oak line is triple wood aged — meaning that they blend their signature malt aged in three cask types: the traditional Spanish sherry casks, American Bourbon barrels, and American oak Sherry casks. This results in a Whisky that is a bit less sweet and is lighter in color than its better-known siblings. This means it tastes more balanced, refreshing, and clean-finishing… making it a better choice to drink with food. Why wait for dinner to be over before you enjoy your dram?

guest,
Love love love this. So smooth and delicious
 
Russ
Russ,
Better than Mac 18.
 
Christopher
Christopher,
On the palate, notes of sherry/dark fruits, vanilla, honey and plenty of oak. Vanilla turns to maybe milk chocolate on the finish. Sweet, but well balanced and has a lot going on. Not a sherry bomb so much as a balanced sherried scotch
 
Michael
Michael,
Its great its smooth the sweet vanilla after taste can get even my wife, who likes White Claws brah!, to enjoy. Good solid scotch should be in every house!
 
Audrey
Audrey,
Okay, but has a bitter after taste.
 
Ira
Ira,
Several drams from bottle I opened a good 3+ years ago that has only 1/4 left now, so I'm not tasting this now at peak flavor. I remember that it was fantastic back then, but like any other spirit, it's gonna lose something as air and empty bottle space take their toll. I put a pour in a Glencairn to rest a while. Amber color, slow medium legs. After 20 minutes, sipped for the next hour. Definitely lost some of its zip but still wonderful apricot taste with a bit of hay. Medium mouth feel. Long finish that melted into prunes and still had some zing 5 min. later. Next, a second pour in my Norlan. Pleasant notes of raisin in the nose. (As opposed to raisins in the nose, which would be pretty uncomfortable.) The bigger mouth of the Norlan may help with this long-opened spirit. Light mouth feel, which is to be expected (just 43%). Taste: butter, toffee. Yum. Norlan gives a different experience with lighter spirits? Nice spirit, like an aging friend that you got to visit from time to time before it's too late. Gotta finish this bottle sooner rather than later. Today tastes like a 7, but in its prime, at least an 8.

Easy to drink, but I expected a bit more for the price point. Subtle, smooth, but somewhat lacking in terms of a flavor profile.

The honey vanilla fruit notes are front and center with just a touch of spice.

Very easy drinker and smooooth. Bottle was almost gone before we realized it. Moderate sweetness with notes of honey oak and vanilla. Expensive but very tasty.

Jacquie,
Love me some Whiskey- this was a good bottle. I could taste the oak and spice in it, a hint of sherry- smooth and pleasant to sip - highly recommend
 
Joshua
Joshua,
Top pick. ...so far at least. This is the most Scotch flavored Scotch on my list. A bit dry, touch of smoke, touch of floral, but nothing takes over.

One of the finest Scotch available today.

Loved it! Would love to have a bottle on hand at all times if I could afford it.

I was expecting more from this but it is definitely easy to drink straight. If you are looking for a bite it didn't seem to come.
 
Eduardo
Eduardo,
Spicy and a bit alcoholic attack, with some honey and vanilla in the nose. In the mouth warm, flavor of dried fruits, oak and orange zest, medium to long finish.

Amazing. Significantly better than Macallan 12. Worth the price.
 
Chris
Chris,
I expected more from this as it's a spey, but it reminded me more of a lowland than a spey. That said, its flavor is subtler than other Macallans.
