The Macallan Single Highland Malt Whisky 31 Year Old · 1950 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with rich mahogany depths and a faint ruby edge, evoking sunlit sherry in a crystal glass.

Nose

Opulent sherried bouquet with dark fruits—raisin, fig, prune—lifted by orange zest and warm toffee. Rich cacao nibs, espresso and polished oak mingle with cedar and leather, while cinnamon and nutmeg spice wafts through the air. A stately, antique aura of sugared spice and a hint of balsam, inviting contemplation of a long, elegant cask-matured spirit.

Palate

Silky and opulent, this Macallan 1950 offers a sherry-rich palate of fig and raisin, orange zest and dark chocolate, braided with toffee. Toasted oak and espresso provide structure, while spice—cinnamon and clove—lends lift. Leather and tobacco notes deepen the mid-palate, finishing long, warm, and impeccably refined.

Finish

Opulent and enduring, this finish drapes the palate in sherry-soaked fruit—raisins, fig and cherry—woven with dark chocolate, toffee, and a whisper of leather. Cinnamon and clove spice linger, guided by toasted oak, leaving a warm, velvety glow that persists long after the last sip.
