Rich and brooding — dark chocolate, dried fig, raisin, toffee, polished oak and a curl of cinnamon and clove.
Full, rich and warming — Christmas cake, dark treacle, walnut, dried orange peel, bitter chocolate and a generous wave of oak spice.
Long, dry, gently tannic, with lingering dark fruit, oak, cocoa and a whisper of leather.
If Lumina is the bright summer day, Terra is the autumn earth.
Terra draws principally from first-fill European oak sherry-seasoned casks from Jerez, the cask type most strongly associated with the classic Macallan profile.
The nose is unmistakably classic Macallan — dark chocolate, fig, raisin, polished oak. The palate delivers Christmas cake in a glass.
The most rewarding of the Quest Collection.
