Tasting Notes

Nose

Citrus, vanilla, a gentle malty sweetness. Lighter and brighter than the Sherry Oak, with the American oak contributing a citrus freshness. A touch of dried fruit from the European oak and a gentle vanilla warmth. Accessible and pleasant.

Palate

Light and fruity — citrus, vanilla, a gentle oak sweetness. The three wood types — European sherry oak, American sherry oak and American bourbon oak — create a lighter Macallan than the all-sherry expressions. Mid-palate brings toffee, gentle spice and a clean warmth. At 40%, smooth but light.

Finish

Medium, with citrus and a gentle vanilla warmth.

Expert Review

7.8/10

Macallan's now-retired triple cask — three wood types creating a lighter, more accessible Macallan.
