The Macallan 2009 Easter Elchies Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Aromas of saturated sherry invite first: raisins and figs mingle with candied orange peel, brown sugar and vanilla. Rich cocoa and espresso whisper, while toasted oak, cinnamon and clove linger, finished with a delicate note of leather and spice. A luxurious, fruit-forward profile that hints at depth and elegance.

Palate

Silky and deeply sherried, this single-cask Macallan unfurls dark fruit compote—fig, plum, raisin—with orange zest, cocoa, and lingering toffee. Spices of cinnamon and nutmeg weave through toasted oak, delivering a full-bodied, velvety mouthfeel. Warmth from the 52.8% ABV carries a long, luxurious finish.

Finish

Opulent and extended, the finish carpets the palate in velvet layers: dark chocolate and fig compote, bright orange zest, and roasted almonds intertwined with refined sherry sweetness. Cinnamon and clove spice linger, carried by polished oak into a warm, leather-kissed finale that echoes long after the last sip.
