The Macallan Scott's Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 26 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany depth and a warm ruby glow.

Nose

Intense and luxurious, this Macallan opens with a velvety sherried perfume: sun-warmed raisins and dried figs mingle with orange zest, toffee, and cocoa; vanilla and almond sweetness weave through spice, while rich oak, cedar, and a hint of leather and sandalwood add old-world polish.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this Macallan coats the palate with dark plum, raisin and fig, brightened by orange zest. Sherry influence delivers cocoa, toffee and walnut, woven with spice—cinnamon and clove—and a touch of espresso. Velvet texture, impeccably balanced by integrated oak. A long, warming finish of dried fruit, chocolate and spice lingers gracefully.

Finish

Long, opulent finish with sherried red fruits, orange zest and dark chocolate, slowly yielding to oak, cinnamon and clove. A warm, velvety, resinous glow lingers, leaving a refined, lasting impression on the palate.
