The Macallan Fine & Rare Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1961 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and a coppery gleam.

Nose

Opulent sherry envelops the nose, releasing figs, dried plum and orange zest, braided with dark chocolate, toffee and caramel. Leather, cedar and toasted oak lend mahogany depth, while cinnamon, clove and a whisper of tobacco weave through. An elegant, age-softened bouquet that hints at decades of refinement and a slow-burning luxury.

Palate

Silky and opulent on the palate, this 1961 Macallan unfolds a deep sherried sweetness with dark fruit, fig and cocoa, bound in velvety oak. Raisin and prune mingle with orange zest and baking spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—while refined tannins carry a long, elegant finish, leaving whispers of leather and cocoa nibs.

Finish

Opulent and lingering, the finish drapes dried fruit, orange zest and cocoa in a warm sherry-sweet cloak. Aged oak and spice carve a refined, resinous fade, with subtle leather and toffee notes that persist long after the swallow, leaving a polished, luxurious impression.
