The Macallan 1999 Release Gran Reserva Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Deep mahogany with copper-amber depth and a glint of ruby.

Nose

Sherry-driven aroma envelopes the nose: dark plum and raisin with orange zest, fig and currant. Toffee, vanilla and toasted almond mingle with cocoa, while spice—cinnamon and clove—adds depth. A whisper of leather and tobacco lingers, all anchored by oak and cedar for a warm, resinous, richly aged aroma.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and richly sherried, this Macallan reveals dark prune and fig, with orange zest and cocoa on a velvety frame. Caramel and toffee mingle with cinnamon and clove, woven through polished oak. Leather nuance adds depth, while the finish remains long, warm and fruit-forward, with an elegant echo of spice.

Finish

Long, elegant finish that coats the palate with velvety sherry sweetness, dark fruit and cocoa, unfolding gentle spice and polished oak. Warmth lingers, fading to toasted almond and a whisper of orange zest for a refined, decadent close.
