Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich sherry, dried fruit, dark chocolate. The selection of rare, first-fill sherry casks creates a nose of unusual complexity. Beneath the sherry, vanilla, orange peel and a gentle warmth. Generous and polished.

Palate

Rich and sherried — dark fruit, chocolate, a gentle oak spice. The diverse cask selection creates a Macallan with genuine complexity and layered richness. Mid-palate brings toffee, roasted nut and a gentle warmth. At 43%, smooth if understrength.

Finish

Long, with sherry richness sustaining elegantly.

Macallan's most exclusive regular release — sixteen cask types married into a singular, rich expression.
