The Macallan Pride Of Strathspey Rare Highland Malt Whisky Miniature 50 Year Old · 1939 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with warm mahogany-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent nose of aged oak and deep sherry, with dried fig, date and orange zest. Cocoa, vanilla and toffee weave with cinnamon and nutmeg, while leather and tobacco add a poised, mature note, complemented by espresso and caramel sweetness. Purely elegant, wonderfully complex.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and luxuriously rich, the palate greets with aged sherry fruit: fig, date, raisin and orange zest mingled with dark chocolate and espresso. Spices — cinnamon and clove — weave through toasted oak, cedar and a whisper of leather. Velvety tannins cradle a warm, long finish, leaving molasses, caramel and mineral depth on the tongue.

Finish

An opulent, lingering finish that softens with velvety warmth. Sherry-soaked fruit notes, orange zest and toasted almond give way to cacao, spice and refined oak, lingering with a silky sweetness and a whisper of tobacco.
