The Macallan 1997 Release Anniversary Malt Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 25 Year Old · 1971 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with opulent copper-gold highlights and a whisper of mahogany at the edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven aroma with dark plum, raisin and fig, braided with toffee, orange zest and vanilla. Spices—cinnamon and clove—together with polished oak, lend a warm, spiced depth, while cocoa nibs and a whisper of leather add a restrained earthiness. A mature, inviting bouquet hinting at age-softened sweetness.

Palate

Silky and richly posed, The Macallan unfolds with polished toffee and caramel, dark chocolate and dried fig, lifted by orange zest. Spiced with cinnamon and clove, it reveals nutmeg and ginger, all wrapped in sumptuous oak. A beautifully persistent finish of espresso and cocoa echoes the sherried depth, leaving a warm, resinous sweetness.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of warming spice and dried fruit, with orange zest and fig lingering over velvety oak; hints of dark chocolate and cocoa fade into a refined, resinous warmth that lingers gracefully.
