The Macallan Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky 42 Year Old · 1973 Vintage
In 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 highlights and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Opulent sherry-led nose: dried figs, raisins and plums swirl with orange zest, while vanilla, toffee and dark chocolate cling to rich, seasoned oak. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg perfume polished leather, yielding an estate-aged bouquet of depth, grace and quiet power.
Palate
Silky and luxurious on the palate, this 42-year Macallan opens with refined sweetness of dried fig, raisin and prune. Depths of dark chocolate, espresso and orange zest evolve with cinnamon and nutmeg, riding a backbone of polished oak. Sherry-influenced warmth lingers, while leather, cedar and subtle spice add savory complexity. The finish is long, elegant, and composed, with persistent sweetness and a whisper of smoke.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with sherried sweetness that lingers, revealing dried fruit, orange zest and gentle spice, before a final kiss of toasted oak and dark cacao.
