Macallan Cask Strength Collection 17 Year Old, Oloroso Sherry Cask, Cask #GRU17 A106 #1, 2005, Signatory Vintage, 57%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

89 / 100

The delicate sherry and red fruits suggest a gentler opening, but the palate turns distinctly richer with Oloroso sherry, dried fruits, chocolate and savory meatiness. That shift gives it more shape than a straightforward sweet sherry style. The long finish, with dark chocolate, caramel, oak and drying spice, sounds especially appealing; there’s enough savory and drying character to keep the richness from feeling one-note.
