The Macallan Old Malt Cask 60th Anniversary Whisky 30 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden-amber with coppery undertones and a warm mahogany glow.

Nose

Opulent and tropical, this nose opens with ex-Rum cask maturation: rum-influenced sweetness over a shield of Macallan oak. Rich caramel and toffee swirl with molasses, while banana, pineapple and coconut emerge in the background. Dried fig and raisin add depth, touched by vanilla, clove and nutmeg. A creamy, velvety oak influence lingers, with a whisper of cocoa.

Palate

Full-bodied and creamy, this Macallan from an ex-Rum cask delivers tropical fruit notes of banana, pineapple and coconut, layered with toffee, vanilla and brown sugar. Subtle ginger and clove spice rise against polished oak, finishing long, warm and rum-kissed.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish where tropical rum sweetness weaves with warm spice. Caramel, dried fruit and banana drift into vanilla and cocoa, carried by supple oak. The warmth lingers gracefully, tapering to a velvety, refined finish with a final whisper of oak and a hint of spice.
