The Macallan Fine & Rare Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1948 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with a warm mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent and aged, the nose unfolds with sherry-driven sweetness: fig, raisin and stewed orange peel mingle with dark caramel, vanilla and toasted oak. Spices—clove and nutmeg—underline cocoa nibs and tobacco, while wisps of dried fruit and a touch of smokiness linger in an elegant, balsamic finish.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate unfurls with dried fig and raisin, orange zest, and dark cacao. Vanilla and toffee weave through the fruit, while sherried spice—nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon—adds warmth. A refined oak spine carries the sweetness to a long, elegant finish of praline, espresso, and subtle leather.

Finish

Opulent and extraordinarily long, the finish unfolds like velvet. Deep sherried sweetness lingers with dried fig and raisin, blending into dark chocolate, orange zest, and toasted oak. Subtle spice and tobacco emerge, leaving a warm, lasting ember.
