Nosing: Sherry Vanille Honig Dattel

Zimt makes a subtle appearance with the addition of water to this high-proof dram.

Taste: Sherry Eiche and a faint Früchte element that tends toward Birne but certainly not so far as Apfel

A bit more Süße and Beeren are evident with the addition of water.

Finish: Sherry Kaffee

The presence of not-unpleasant bitterness - interpreted as Kaffee - is reduced with water. But this bitter aftertaste can still be clearly detected after dilution when the whisky is paired with a sweet food accompaniment.

Comment: Sherry influence is present at every stage while enjoying The Macallan Classic Cut. However, at no point is it overwhelming, or even exceptionally dominant.
