Tasting Notes
Color: Deep amber, reminiscent of aged oak and rich mahogany.
Nose: A harmonious blend of citrus notes balanced with sweet vanilla and subtle wood spice, evoking the essence of a classic Speyside single malt.
Palate: Fruity undertones complemented by gentle wood nuances and a light oaky character, offering a smooth and refined tasting experience.
Finish: A delicate conclusion featuring light oak, wood spice, and malt, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
Distillation and Maturation
The Macallan’s commitment to excellence is evident in every step of the whisky-making process. Utilizing their signature small copper stills, the distillery ensures a concentrated and robust spirit. The ‘finest cut’—a mere 16% of the distilled spirit—is selected, capturing the purest essence of the whisky. Maturation occurs in a unique combination of bourbon and sherry oak casks. American oak casks impart subtle notes of apple, floral aromas, citrus fruits, and toffee sweetness. European oak casks contribute a deep, rich color with hints of dried fruit and spice. This harmonious blend results in a smooth, delicate, yet complex single malt.
