Whisky Review: Macallan 12 Year Old Single Malt

Macallan 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A good whisky but nothing to write home about. Fruity character with an underlying saltiness that reminds me of the ocean. A little too light and a bit forgettable.
Overall Score: 14/25

Nose: 3/5
Palate: 3/5
Finish: 3/5
Experience: 5/10
