The Macallan Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1 Litre) 10 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished copper with mahogany hues and warm amber highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherried perfume, bold and refined. Dried dark fruits—raisin, fig, plum—layer with orange zest, toffee, and vanilla, all enrobed in velvety oak. Cinnamon and clove lift the aroma, while cocoa nibs and a hint of espresso deepen the depth. At cask strength, the scent remains generous, polished by age and a lacquered wood essence.

Palate

Bold, cask-strength on the palate, it reveals dark fruits—fig, raisin, date—bound with orange peel and toffee. Rich chocolate and cocoa mingle with cacao‑oak, while cinnamon, clove and nutmeg spice the mid-palate. A warm, polished sherry sweetness lingers into a long, velvety finish of spice, leather and coffee notes.

Finish

Long, warming finish with intense sherry sweetness, dark fruit and orange peel, underpinned by polished oak. Cocoa and espresso notes emerge, slowly fading into a velvety, pepper-kissed glow that lingers with a final echo of spice.
