Eight casks, seven are sherry and only one is American oak. No.2 is a clear callback to the distillery’s heavily-sherried history, downright biting from the get-go with big citrus and spice notes. Punchy and slightly medicinal on the nose, those rich sherry notes kick things off in classic Macallan style. On the tongue, the whisky offers a big slug of orange oil and marmalade that winds its way into notes of toasted marshmallow, cloves, incense, and oily leather. The lengthy finish echoes more citrus, plus notes of sweet dates, raisins, and a touch of lumberyard.
