Distillery Bottling

Ah, another super 'old style' bottling of the glorious 18 year old. Distilled in 1972 and bottled in 1990. A slightly drier and more complex offering this one, quite leafy with fig, raisin and marmalade on the iniitial nose. The palate offers those classic sherried notes but also a touch herbal and with chewy tannins and cedar wood. There's a good finish to it with a nice spicy touch reminicent of nutmeg and ginger.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Leafy and refined, this Macallan opens with fig and raisin laced with marmalade. The sherry influence sits dry and complex, with subtle herbal hints and a cedarwood lift that hints at polished oak and quiet spice.

The Macallan
Macallan was founded by Alexander Reid in 1824 on the Easter Elchies Estate above the River Spey, and it was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to become legally licensed. The name comes from the older place name “Maghellan”, combining the Gaelic magh for fertile ground with a reference to St Fillan, who was associated with the church that once stood on the estate. Easter Elchies House, which remains central to the brand’s identity, dates from around 1700 and still sits at the heart of the estate.
