The Macallan Speymalt - Single Sherry Cask #9620 Whisky 18 Year Old · 2006 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery mahogany edges, a warm, wine-dark glow that hints at its sherry-matured richness.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose with dark fruits—prune, raisin, fig—softly layered by orange zest and candied peel. Caramel, toffee and cocoa mingle with toasted almond, vanilla, and a touch of leather. Whispered spice—cinnamon and clove—adds warmth, while polished oak threads through, revealing the cask’s generous, syrupy maturity.

Palate

Opulent and bold, the palate unfurls rich dried fruits—raisin and fig—with orange zest, dark chocolate and caramel. Cinnamon, nutmeg and clove lift the sherry sweetness, while velvety oak supports a warm, cask-strength presence that lingers with a long, spice-kissed finish.

Finish

Long, opulent finish of first-fill sherry: ripe fig and raisin give way to orange zest, dark chocolate and spice. Rich oak envelopes the sweetness, leaving a warm, velvety glow that lingers with a refined, enduring warmth.
