Macduff Ancient Mariner 18 Year Old, American Oak Cask, Cask #5852, 1997, Ancient Mariner, 46.1%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The American oak cask detail is useful, and the notes sound nicely balanced: charred strawberries up front, then pepper against honeyed orchard fruit. The wood-spice finish keeps it from reading too sweet.
