The Macallan 12 Years Old on the rocks.
This Macallan smells lighter, and has less of an apple juice scent than the Johnnie Walker Black Label.
The drink was okay upon first contact, but then the spice and burn hits.
The second sip was easier than the first. 7:15PM PT
The Macallan 12 Years Old *
*The Macallan distillery makes a 12 year old whisky aged in fine oak and a 12 year old whisky aged in fine sherry casks. I'm guessing the one I had was aged in sherry oak (based on color and taste).
