Words of Whisky (82)

:

Nose: Opens up on hot chocolate, slivers of orange zest as well as a whiff of honey and muscovado sugar. There’s also some gingerbread, sandalwood and just the quietest whisper of coffee grounds and copper coins.
Taste: Plenty of nutmeg and cloves, with a touches of raisins, cocoa powder and dates, but also plenty of charred oak. Finally some marzipan and cinnamon.
Finish: Lingering wood spices with a touch of honey and cocoa butter, with finally some orchard fruits.

As I've found with other relatively young, official bottlings from this distillery, the palace of The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is not very refined. The nose is well-balanced and on the finish things calm down, but there's an initial spiciness and oakiness that's not entirely my cup of tea. A decent single malt nevertheless.
