The Macallan Single Highland Malt Whisky 17 Year Old · 1965 Vintage

Colour

Deep mahogany amber with copper-gold highlights and a rich, chestnut-tinged glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma of dried figs and prunes, raisin sweetness and orange zest. Rich cocoa and coffee mingle with toffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg, while polished oak and a whisper of leather lend depth. A luxurious, fruit-forward invitation.

Palate

Velvet and full-bodied, this Macallan unfolds with sherry-forward fruit across the palate—prune, raisin and fig mingling with dark chocolate, toffee and espresso. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—emerge, then give way to silky oak and a waxy, refined mouthfeel. The finish is long and warming, with orange zest and dried fruit lingering gracefully.

Finish

Long, velvety finish saturated with sherry sweetness. Dark fruit notes of prune, raisin and fig unfold into cacao, espresso and toasted almond, while warm spice and refined oak linger gracefully on the palate, a dignified echo of aged cask and Macallan’s classic balance.
