The water is used to clean the barley before it is fermented and distilled. Its super smooth even my wife agrees and she doesnt even like whiskey. Price: NA Auction, Specialty Store or Private Seller. Im new to drinking whiskey and am no expert, but I love this.

Cask Strength Non-Chill Filtered Natural Color. The Macallan whisky is made from spring water that comes from the nearby River Spey, which is also used to make other Scottish whiskies such as The Glenlivet and The Balvenie. Distiller: Macallan Mashbill: 100 Malted Barley Cask: ex-Sherry Age: NAS ABV: 60.1. This whisky is beatuful, rich complex even challenging, with water the balance of the liquid : cask is greatly improved, but be careful it doesnt need much. The Macallan is a famous single malt whisky that is known for its distinct flavor and smoothness. With water still lingers but is much more gentle in its approach, tobacco and wood spice are prominent here, for such a muscular (and sweet) whisky the finish is surprisingly clean and dry. With water much sweeter, cough sweets, continues from the nose a bit more far more balanced with wood spice not quite being so aggressive stewed tea note is more noticeable and big time vanillaįinish: Lasts and lasts, comes in bouts and wafts cask notes and gentle acidity caramel pops back as well. Pallet: Starts sweet with dark caramel and fruit then big old sherry notes dominate, tannins, wood spice, tobacco goes into orange marmalade and apple quite dry compared to the nose. Almost crème caramel, plenty of fudge, apple, apricots, pears and peaches as well. With water really buttery and rich, cask has really been pulled back now, there is some spice lingering around but this now (after maybe half a teaspoon of water) is a big sweet sherry monster. Nose: Big and buttery mostly sweet, rich, fruity, toffee malt, caramel lemon and orange citrus, touch of brandy and wood spice at the back.
