The Macallan 2012 Easter Elchies Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1999 Vintage

Colour

Deep, sun-burnished amber with coppery mahogany undertones.

Nose

Opulent sherry-drenched aroma with dark plum and raisin compote, fig jam, and candied orange peel. Rich cocoa and espresso mingle with vanilla and caramelized oak. Warm cinnamon and clove add depth, while hints of leather and sandalwood linger in the background.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this Macallan coats the palate with sherried richness: dark chocolate, fig and raisin, and orange zest meet treacle. Velvety mouthfeel, praline sweetness, and spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—buffered by rich oak. The finish is long and warming, with leather, espresso, and cocoa nibs lingering into a refined, oak-framed glow.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish unfurls with rich sherry sweetness—fig, raisin and cocoa—balanced by orange zest and spice. Velvety oak warms the palate as cinnamon and clove linger, fading to a refined, noble glow.
