The Macallan 15 Fine Oak. Image courtesy The Macallan/Edrington. One of the mainstays of The Macallan’s Fine Oak range, the nose has notes of toffee, nougat, hazelnut, oak, and dried flowers. The taste has notes of orange oils, clove, dark chocolate, hints of raisins and figs, oak, and vanilla. The finish is long and fades gently with touches of orange, figs, raisins, fudge, and a sweet oakiness. (February, 2015)
