Tasting Notes

Nose

Toffee, dried fruits — figs, dates, sultanas — orange zest, cinnamon, eggnog, brandy-soaked fruits, sweet oak, vanilla — unmistakably Macallan

Palate

Silky and soft — red and black berries, jammy marmalade, dark chocolate, stem ginger, raisins, toffee, well-integrated oak — the 18 years of sherry maturation fully expressed

Finish

Long and drawn out — biscuity, nutty, charred oak, lingering sherry, caramel, oak spices — a finish that lasts for minutes

Expert Review

8.5/10

The most iconic expression from the world's most valuable single malt brand. Matured exclusively in hand-picked European oak casks seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez, Spain. Distilled at Easter Elchies House in Speyside since 1824. Connosr 88/100. Drinkhacker 'A' rating. The quality is undeniable — the debate is always whether it justifies £340.
