The Macallan Winter 2006 - Easter Elchies Seasonal Selection Whisky 15 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-gold with mahogany-tinged amber and ruby glints; a warm, luminous colour that hints at years in sherry-seasoned casks.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven aroma of dark dried fruits—prune, fig, and raisin—paired with orange zest. Rich toffee, cocoa and vanilla mingle with polished oak, while cinnamon and clove spice linger. A velvet, festive warmth and a whisper of leather complete the bouquet, hinting at Christmas cake and the elegant depth of a Sherry-cask Macallan.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate unfolds in a velvet layer of dark fruit and spice. Raisined fig, prune and orange peel mingle with treacle, cocoa and toasted almond, while cinnamon and clove weave through elegant oak. Concentrated and warming at 58.5%, it finishes long with leather, espresso and cacao.

Finish

Long, luxurious and warming, the finish unfurls with rich dried fruits and sherry sweetness, brightened by orange zest, cocoa and baking spices. Oak lingers, leaving a warm espresso-kissed fade.
