The Macallan Exceptional Single Cask #2 Whisky 21 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany depths and burnished gold highlights, a sunlit, sherry-kissed glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma, with dried plum, fig and raisin. Hints of orange zest, dark chocolate, and toffee fold into vanilla and polished oak, while cinnamon and leather add depth. A stately aged Speyside bouquet that speaks to richness and rare cask elegance.

Palate

Velvety and concentrated, this Macallan coats the palate with dark sherry fruit – raisin, fig and orange zest – woven with chocolate, toffee and a whisper of leather. Toasted oak, cinnamon and clove rise beneath, while the 59.3% ABV delivers a warming bite that lingers with rich spice and long, refined oak.

Finish

Exceptionally long and luxurious, the finish glides with a warm, velvety drift of sherried fruit, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. Spice lingers—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—woven through orange zest and polished oak, fading to a refined, lingering warmth that remains on the palate.
