The Macallan Single Highland Malt Whisky (1 Litre) (1990's Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Golden amber with warm copper highlights and a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Rich sherry-soaked aroma lifts from the glass, with raisin and fig liqueur, orange peel and marmalade, vanilla pod, spice, and toasted oak—a voluptuous, chocolate-tinged warmth.

Palate

On the palate, a plush, opulent entry of rich dried fruits—raisin, fig, plum—washed in luscious sherry sweetness. Cocoa, toffee and dark chocolate entwine with warm vanilla and caramel, while cinnamon, clove and nutmeg weave spice. The oak is polished and integrated, yielding a long, elegant finish with a subtle mocha note and a gentle, warming lift.

Finish

Silky, long finish of refined spice and sherried sweetness; dried orange peel, dark chocolate and toasted oak linger, softening into a warm, velvety tail with a touch of nuttiness.
