The Macallan Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky 35 Year Old · 1966 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.
Well, this isn't something you see everyday. A popular vinatge 1966. A 35 year old Macallan bottled by Gordon and Macphail as part of their excellent Speymalt label. Matured in first fill Sherry Butts, this is exceptional value for a Macallan of this age!

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with ruby-copper highlights and a burnished mahogany edge.
Nose
Opulent sherried perfume of dried fruits—raisin and fig—paired with orange zest, toffee and dark chocolate. Toasted oak and cedar lend structure, while nutmeg and cinnamon mingle with a whisper of leather, delivering a refined, mature fruitcake glow true to a 1966 Macallan Speymalt.
Palate
Silky and opulent on the palate, with a plume of dried fruit and orange zest. Christmas pudding, fig and raisin mingle with toffee, dark chocolate and warm spice. First-fill sherry coats the mouth in velvety oak, yielding a cocoa-tinted, lingering finish.
Finish
Long, velvety finish bathed in first-fill sherry, with warm spice and dark oak. Dried fruit—fig and date—emerge with a hint of orange zest, harmonizing into cocoa, leather and a lingering, luxurious warmth.
