Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

The Macallan 25yo 'Fine Oak' (43%, OB, 2004) was the first in this range of new Macs that really made my heart beat faster. Wonderful complexity - even thought it's definitely not a sherry monster.
Nose: Sweet and polished with a good deal of sherry, it seems. Smoke and organics. Ah, now I get some fruits in the background. More 'bakery aroma's and 'good grain' later. A lovely rich fruit cake sweetness fills the room. Next: leather and meat. Quite spectacular. Then the organics reappear in full force - a nice surprise. Spices. That means extra points.
Taste: Not quite as big and sweet as I expected. Light, dry and ever so slightly fruity. The palate doesn't really match the nose and I'm afraid it loses one or two points here.
Score: 85 points - I had it in de lower eighties until the nose caught a second wind.
Phew, finally a 'Fine Oak' expression that's sort of up to the 'old' quality standards.
Colour: Bright Amber.
Nose: Rich, robust aroma, with hints of peaches, blood orange and wood-spice.
Palate: Rich, coconut and vanilla flavours, hints of sultanas, lemon and peat.
Finish: Lingering, slightly spicy with sherried orange.
