The Macallan Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky 47 Year Old · 1965 Vintage
Out of stock
Gordon & MacPhail have been purveyors of fine goods across three centuries and, over many years, have built up and nurtured special relationships with local producers. Among these are several local whisky distilleries in the Speyside region from whom they purchase new-make spirit to be matured in their own oak casks.
However, there is only one distillery for which they reserve the title ‘Speymalt from Macallan Distillery’.
Established in 1824 and situated overlooking the fishing beats on the River Spey, the Macallan Distillery produces a wonderfully complex spirit, which they then carefully mature in quality oak casks ordered specifically for the ‘Speymalt from Macallan Distillery’ range.
Each bottling carries the vintage of distillation and the year of bottling, capturing an exceptionally mature single malt whisky.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery-bronze hues and a touch of mahogany at the rim.
Nose
Complex and refined, with orange zest and dried fig perched over polished oak. Notes of vanilla, toffee and dark chocolate unfold, while leather, cedar and wisps of spice lend depth. A delicate sherry fruitiness threads through, marrying sweetness and oak into a poised, timeless aroma.
Palate
Silky, sherried palate with fig, prune and date notes brightened by orange zest and toffee. Rich dark chocolate and spice—cinnamon and clove—lie over velvety oak, delivering a refined sweetness. Long, warming finish with leather, cacao and a subtle citrus brightness.
Finish
A long, velvety finish that unfurls with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—then dark fruit, cocoa and orange zest, as refined oak and subtle leather linger, leaving a lasting, warm impression.
