Another superb release from Independent whisky guru’s Gordon & MacPhail. The single malt enjoyed its 18-year cask maturity from 1998 to 2016.

This Speymalt from Macallan distillery offers tremendous value for money, considering the whisky has been matured in cask for around 18 years.

Nose: The whiskey flatters the nose with an intense sherry aroma. It brings notes of nuts and toffee. Roasted almonds and rock candy are present. In the background are fruity notes of oranges.

Palate: Spicy and strong on the tongue. Brings notes of pepper. Sherry brings in sweetness and blends with toffee and honey. Milk chocolate and coffee initiate the finish.

Finish: The finish is long-lasting. The single malt whiskey says goodbye creamy. It leaves notes of chocolate and coffee. Sherry stops.

Distillery Information

The Macallan distillery is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Craigellachie, Moray, Scotland. The Macallan Distillers Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Edrington, which purchased the brand from Highland Distillers in 1999. The Macallan is generally considered to be the second or third highest-selling single-malt scotch, next to Glenfiddich and, by some accounts, Glenlivet. Originally, The Macallan was matured only in oak sherry casks brought to the distillery from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Beginning in 2004, The Macallan introduced a new main product, the Fine Oak series, with the whisky mellowed in bourbon oak casks as well as sherry ones. In 2018, the Fine Oak series was renamed as the Triple Cask Matured range.
