Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany edges and ruby highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherried aroma of dried figs and sultanas, with orange zest, toffee and polished oak. Spices—cinnamon and clove—linger over caramel and dark chocolate, yielding a warm, velvety perfume that promises depth and refinement.

Palate

Opulent and velvety on the palate, this Macallan reveals a warm, sherry-kissed core. Rich dried fruits—raisins, dates, fig—sit with dark chocolate, toffee and toasted almond. Spices emerge softly: cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, with orange zest and polished oak. A long, refined finish of silky sweetness and gentle warmth.

Finish

Opulent and enduring, the finish coats the palate with sherry-soaked sweetness—figs and raisins—complemented by dark chocolate and a hint of orange zest. Roasted oak, leather, and spice linger, slowly fading into a warm, resinous timber echo and dignified, extended length.

The Macallan
Macallan was founded by Alexander Reid in 1824 on the Easter Elchies Estate above the River Spey, and it was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to become legally licensed. The name comes from the older place name “Maghellan”, combining the Gaelic magh for fertile ground with a reference to St Fillan, who was associated with the church that once stood on the estate. Easter Elchies House, which remains central to the brand’s identity, dates from around 1700 and still sits at the heart of the estate.
