The Macallan The Colour Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old
In stock
The Collection is a celebration of The Macallan's commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning. The Colour Collection 18 Years Old offers a whisky that has undergone maturation in American oak casks, enhanced by a delicate touch of European oak.
During 18 years of patient maturation, the whisky has drawn out the flavours of the cask: the lemon citrus and vanilla of the American oak, the notes of dried fruits, spices and orange citrus from the European oak, and the almonds, toffee, dried fruit, and hint of spice of the sherry seasoning. The result is a sweet and citric flavour profile with dominant notes of sweet oak, clementine and honeycomb.
Artist and Graphic Designer David Carson captures the warmth of the evening sun as it shines on the “teja” tiles on the roofs of the bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera, against a backdrop of vineyards with chalk-white soil – the perfect environment to enjoy a dram of The Macallan.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Sun-kissed golden amber with coppery glints and honeyed edges, a warm, natural hue that glows with sherry-seasoned depth.
Nose
Bright lemon citrus and vanilla from American oak rise with orange citrus, dried fruits and spice from European casks. Toasted almonds and toffee weave through sherry-soft sweetness, while honeycomb and clementine add a warm, inviting citrus-nut finish to the nose.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied palate with a sweet oak backbone and lively citrus. Lemon and vanilla from American oak meet orange citrus and dried fruits from European oak, interwoven with almonds and toffee. Sherry seasoning adds honeycomb sweetness and a gentle spice, finishing with bright clementine, warm oak, and a refined, lingering softness.
Finish
Long, generous finish with honeyed citrus and sherry-kissed sweetness. Velvet oak, vanilla and toffee frame notes of almonds and dried fruits, while a gentle spice lingers. Clementine zest echoes, slowly fading to a warm, nutty glow.
