Nose
Rich and dense on the nose, prune and raisin take center stage, lifted by orange zest. Dark chocolate nuances weave through a sweet, smooth oak backdrop, revealing the Sherry-cask maturity that defines this 18-year Macallan.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied and opulent on the palate; prune and raisin sweetness mingle with orange zest, wrapped in dark chocolate and toasted oak. Smooth, syrupy textures carry a gentle sweetness that blankets the tongue, finishing with long, refined oak-spice and a warm, lingering finish.
Finish
Elegant, long finish with prune and raisin sweetness carried by orange zest and dark chocolate. Sherry oak lends a warm, toasty spine, fading into silky oak spice and a refined, lingering sweetness.
