The Macallan Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky 36 Year Old · 1972 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 copper-amber with mahogany depth and a warm sun-gold glow.
Nose
Opulent nose of dried fruits—raisins, figs and dates—woven with orange zest and burnt sugar. Rich toffee and cocoa emerge, while gentle spice of cinnamon and clove lingers through polished oak, yielding a refined, sherried sweetness with a hint of leather.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, the palate reveals dark fig and raisin, glazed orange peel, and espresso over a backbone of rich oak. Layered with toffee, vanilla and a touch of ginger, the sherry richness perfumes the midpalate, closing in a long, refined finish of warm spice and polished sweetness.
Finish
An extraordinarily long, velvet finish that lingers with silky sherry sweetness, evolving into dark chocolate, orange zest and dried fruit. Spiced oak and a whisper of espresso fade slowly, leaving a refined, lingering warmth on the palate.
