Whisky Advocate:

“On more familiar ground with this G&M bottling of one of Speyside’s most iconic single malts, that is Macallan in full-on sherried form.

Highly aromatic with powdered clove, hints of incense and fig, at the back of which is cacao, Bolivar cigar, and molasses.

The palate has immediate smoke and surprisingly gentle tannins — the inherent oiliness of the spirit keeping any grip at bay.

Very long, leathery, prune-like (think armagnac), and dense.

A classic after-dinner mouth-filler.

Aged entirely in first-fill sherry barrels, that is rather most likely the most efficient Macallan I’ve ever tasted. The concentration of sherry is absolutely unreal. It’s almost not possible to tell where the sherry ends and the whisky begins – it all gets lost in a seamless flavor of wealthy toffee, syrup, and caramel. I have to consider that anybody who is willing to pay the price will get exactly what they expect from this bottle. It tastes expensive, unlike such a lot of pricier malts that get you on rarity or collectibility only.”
