Distiller: Macallan
Bottle: Fine Oak 15 Year
Classification: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Region: Highlands
Age: 15 Years
ABV: 43%
Barreling: Sherried European Oak, Sherried American Oak, Ex-Bourbon American Oak
Heavily Peated?: No
Estimated Price: $400 USD (This is now the triple oak, not the fine oak, and it is about $175)
Tasting Procedure: Whisky was poured into a cold, water-rinsed Glencairn, and set out for about 15 minutes.
Nose: Right off the bat, this stuff smells like bourbon. Roasted peanuts, tobacco, toasted sugar, caramel, fired oak. A little candied ginger, some salt, a touch of smoke. Ocean breeze.
Palate: This stuff is like a dessert. Salted peanuts and caramel, milk chocolate, ginger, vanilla bean, almond, sherry influence, spices, white pepper. Fruit wise, candied orange and dark fruits make up the backdrop. There is a slight bite of saline and a little maritime flavor to cut through the sweetness of the main malt. Very balanced.
Finish: As with most sherried scotch, the sherry hangs on for the ride. For being 43% ABV, this is a surprisingly flavorful bottle. The drink dries out a bit, and gets spicier on the finish. Clove and cardamom appear and the white pepper gets stronger. Butter, burnt brown sugar, and oak come through strong on the finish as well.
Score: 4
Thoughts: I have no idea if the new bottling of this stuff is any good. In 2018, Macallan got rid of the Fine Oak bottlings, and now this stuff is called Triple Cask. Hopefully the triple cask is still the same, because this is a wonderful scotch. If you want something dessert-y but savory, this is a great option. It's surprising to me how much bourbon character this whisky offers, especially on the nose. Maybe I am untrained, but I'm convinced you could fool some people into believing that this is bourbon from the nose alone. The palate quickly reveals that this is NOT bourbon, but it still retains much of the peanut/caramel flavors that bourbons have. The combination of those flavors with salty scotch is delicious.
Score Guide:
0 - Disgusting and undrinkable. I would rather drink everclear than this.
1- Not good. This is a bottle that I would rather just simply avoid. A bottle with this score would be one that has off flavors, or is so bland that it is not worth ever choosing at any price point.
2- Average. This is an acceptable bottle that is not bad but has nothing distinguishing about it. I'd drink it if it was free or cheap, but I probably wouldn't order it at regular prices.
3- Good. This is a bottle that I enjoy, and would purchase from time to time. If it was on a sale, I'd consider it a good deal and would be likely to grab it. It would have good qualities about it, but may be lacking in less detrimental aspects such as complexity.
4- Great. This is a bottle that I would be highly likely to purchase, and would always restock if it was on sale. This needs to be a bottle that stands out a bit. This could definitely be a daily drinker.
5- Exceptional. This is a bottle that must be on my shelf. This is something that I would drink all the time if I could, and I would highly recommend to others.
5+- Phenomenal. This category is fairly subjective, hence when I didn't opt for a "6". This is a 5 bottle that stands out, one that I would drink 9/10 times when presented with other 5's. Anything that receives a 5+ is one of my personal favorites, and something that I save for rare occasions (unless it's cheap and then I drink a lot of it).

Buddy “forgot” he had a few of these and offered to sell me one for what he paid ($450 USD)

Received a used Thorn watch yesterday which is awesome...
Today Mrs. Postwoman dropped off a new San Martin SNO111. I carefully unwrapped it and to my horror, the bezel is way off! Dang!! I'm certainly not too particular, but this is very, very frustrating. Spent over USD 370 for this which is by far more than any other Chinese watch. Next most expensive is a San Martin Ranger which is perfect! Not sure how to contact San Martin, so I sent a Reddit chat to the address that first posted pics of this new watch.
Comments/Advice are welcome. Noticed the gentleman that posted the video review had the same issue. Other than the bezel I really like it. I have a QC problem on the title of my post! San Martin instead of San Marin! lol
