This 1988 vintage Sherry Oak 18 Year Old shows Macallan`s classic sherry-cask style, with dried fruit, orange peel and warm spice on the nose, developing into a rich, full-bodied palate of raisin, dark chocolate and ginger. The finish is long and gently spicy, with well-integrated oak and a final touch of toffee. A polished, well-balanced dram that reflects Macallan`s consistent quality through the late 1980s, and a superb example of the range at its most refined.
