Brand: Macallan
Type: Scotch
Region: Speyside
ABV: 43%

NOSE: obviously sweet sherry and muscat grapes notes( muscat dessert wine) with a bit of floral nature to it. TASTE: marmalade with citrus and of course sweet sherry. FINISH: medium-length but rather decent and grapy. OVERALL IMPRESSION: a dram that people who never tried whisky would describe right away like "smells like sweet grapes".

I recommend you try Glenfarclas 15 year. Can you get that in Russia? If so, a great bargain.

You can get pretty much everything in Russia)) it's often twice as expensive though =) Thanks for the advice!

I would 2nd the Glenfarclas 15 yo as being far superior, in both quality and value, to the Macallan 12. The Glenfarclas is more of a "rich/heavy" sherry profile, rather than the sweet sherry of the Macallan.
