Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich sherry, dried fruit, dark chocolate. The all-oloroso maturation gives the nose a depth and richness that the Double Cask cannot match. Raisin, dark toffee, a gentle spice. Beneath the sherry, malt and a touch of orange peel. Classic Macallan.

Palate

Full and sherried — dried fruit, chocolate, a gentle oak spice. The exclusive sherry maturation provides a richness and depth that has made Macallan one of the world's most valuable whisky brands. Mid-palate brings roasted nut, a gentle warmth and a satisfying mouthfeel. At 43%, smooth and polished.

Finish

Long, with sherry warmth and dried fruit sustaining elegantly.

Expert Review

The traditional Macallan — exclusively sherry-matured, rich and a benchmark for the category.
