Conclusion:
The fist of the Concept Edition. Comes in this great packaging and presentation. It’s an oily and medium full bodied single malt whisky. Its gives you what you expect from Macallan. Rich flavors and aromas. The price is also what you expect from Macallan. I think the price is a bit too high for what you get.
