The nose is really interesting, especially for a Macallan: vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom.  Pears too.  The palate is a fruit explosion -- wow -- followed by everything the nose promised.  Sound good?  It is, although I'd never guess this was a Macallan.  A really delightful spice mix -- distinct, unusual spices -- which dance in the long finish.  It's a lighter whisky, yet you can still chew it.  I look forward to my next glass of this.
