The Macallan Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky 42 Year Old · 1974 Vintage
In stock
To describe this Gordon & Macphail bottle of 42 year old Macallan as a bargain might be hard to take for some, but when you consider the official release of Macallan 40 year old last year started out at £5000 and will soon increase in price to many times that, then you start to see what i mean by using the word bargain?
You can almost smell the splinters in the sherry wood here! a dark and meaty Macallan for those that like a more mature Sherry cask bomb without over the top abv but all the flavour.There is a real antique furniture shop feel to this.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark mahogany amber with coppery highlights and a wine-red core.
Nose
Deep, opulent notes of mulled oloroso sherry mingle with orange rind and sour cherry, folded with liquorice and espresso. Savory whispers of leather and Bovril creep in alongside dark treacle, signaling a mature, sherry-drenched Macallan with antique-age polish.
Palate
Dark manuka honey and treacle weave with charred anise and espresso, edged by meat-stock depth and salami notes. Sherry vinegar adds tang, while malt loaf, sticky dates and ginger marmalade mingle with blood orange, delivering a bold yet balanced savoury-sweet mouthfeel.
Finish
Like the best Oloroso sherry poured over a trifle, the finish mingles dark roast coffee beans, creamy ginger, dark chocolate and liquorice with a dry, savoury meat glaze and balsamic-soaked nuts.
