The Macallan Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1990 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
Radiant amber-gold with sumptuous copper undertones and a hint of mahogany.
Nose
Opulent aromas of orange zest and dried fig, layered with dark sherry oak, cinnamon and toffee. Raisined sweetness blends with vanilla, almond and a whisper of cocoa, all carried on a polished, oak-driven spine.
Palate
Silky and full on the palate, with raisin and fig sweetness, bright orange zest and a lush toffee core. Sherry depth coats dark chocolate and espresso over velvety oak, while warm spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—thread through. Creamy vanilla lingers with a honeyed finish and refined warmth.
Finish
Long, velvety and sherried, the finish floods the tongue with warm spice and plush dried fruit, orange zest and cocoa surfacing before a refined, lingering oak sweetness.
