The Macallan Tales Of The Macallan Volume II Single Malt Scotch Whisky 73 Year Old · 1949 Vintage
Out of stock
This is the second edition of the prestigious Tales of The Macallan series: a collection that tells the story of The Macallan pioneers and the defining moments and decisions that have shaped our story. Distilled in 1949 and bottled in 2022, this exemplary whisky has been selected at the apex of its maturation.
Encased in a bespoke, hand-crafted Lalique crystal decanter, the remarkable 1949 vintage whisky honours the journey of The Macallan founder, Alexander Reid, from teacher to farmer and distiller. The decanter showcases etchings of Andrew Davidson's illustrations, while the accompanying tome features beautifully illustrated chapters by the artist.
Aromas of sweet woodsmoke, rich forest fruit, leafy herbs and indulgent spices will transport you to landscapes and adventures past. Just like the Distillery at Easter Elchies Estate, this liquid masterpiece recounts a timeless tale in every drop.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, honeyed amber with copper-gold glow and a mahogany edge, a luxurious, sunset hue that hints at sherry-laden maturity and long age.
Nose
Rich forest fruits mingle with sweet aromatic woodsmoke, antique oak, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla pods, herbal and leafy notes, and treacle toffee.
Palate
Silky on the tongue, the palate opens with black cherries and plum jam, moving to dark chocolate orange, almond and custard pastry. Ginger spice and cloves mingle with sweet woodsmoke, while a veil of loose tea leaves lingers in the finish.
Finish
Long and evolving, this finish drapes the palate in sweet, lingering smoke, weaving dark forest fruit, vanilla and spice into a velvety, resonant warmth that lingers.
