Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich and buttery — creamy toffee, salted caramel, sweet figs, dates, chewy raisins, mandarin, brown sugar, the Oloroso sherry cask influence unmistakable

Palate

Sweet and full — sherry, plums, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, silky round mouthfeel, not overly complex but satisfying, the exclusive sherry maturation providing rich dried fruit character

Finish

Medium — sweet and oaky, sherry reappearing with caramel and milk chocolate, the classic Macallan signature in the warm close

Expert Review

8/10

The absolute classic — the whisky that defined sherry-matured Scotch. Exclusively matured in hand-selected Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks from Spain for twelve years. Rich, buttery toffee with salted caramel, sweet figs, dates, and raisins. The standard against which all sherry-matured single malts are judged.
