The Macallan Italian Private Bottling Whisky 17 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glow and mahogany depth.

Nose

Opulent sherry bouquet with dried orange zest, plum, fig and raisin. Rich toffee and caramel mingle with vanilla as toasted oak lends structure. Warm spice of cinnamon and clove adds elegance, finishing with a hint of dark chocolate.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this sherried Macallan coats the palate with dark fruit depth—raisin, fig and plum—woven with orange zest and vanilla toffee. Subtle oak, cocoa and spice carry a warm, lingering finish, with toasted almond and a touch of clove.

Finish

Silky and long, the finish unfolds with dried fig and raisin, brightened by orange zest and a veil of dark chocolate. Spiced oak—cinnamon and clove—lingers, warming the palate into a refined, honeyed echo that slowly fades to velvet warmth.
