Macallan Distillery

Amber Sherry Oak Cask Single Malt Scotch

Caramel brittle on the nose, very light at first and explodes into a crescendo of subtle flavours -- vanilla and spice. Long and complicated finish. The taste just seems to grow infinitely after you've swallowed. — 11 years ago

Inglenook

Cask Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1949

Had this 49 with 55, 56, 59, 68 and 70 with Kermit Lynch and John Tilson amongst others. The company speaks for itself alone as the provenance was perfect. Neck fills and cellared at 50 degrees for decades. Remarkable experience as the wines all showed primary fruit with dark rims and soft melted silky tannins that had real grip. The acid balance was near perfect front to back and these old Inglenooks really showcase that CA wines can age so beautifully when made right. What a testament and treat for us all that night. — 11 years ago
