This is a collector's opportunity to secure one of Speyside’s most iconic single malts from the heyday of this distillery: 18 year old Macallan in full-on sherried form. Purists should note - Macallan built its reputation during the early 1980s and ‘90s in large part by emphasising hard line traditional practises - 100% Sherry maturation and a predominant use of a special variety of barley called “Golden Promise”, now rarely used, but traditionally highly prized for its rich, nutty flavour. Macallan last used its original ratio of Golden Promise barley in 1993. The taste of ‘true’ Macallan may not be had for much longer at any price! Tasting note~ Color: Amber Nose: Much more sherry here. It’s also more chocolaty, dry, raisiny, prunes, well, sherry. little bacon and smoked ham. Palate: Typical good. All what you’d expect from an old-style sherried Macallan: the prunes, mintiness, chocolate, impressive body totally classic and perfectly balanced but not entrancing Finish: Very long, coating, almost thick and very ‘Macallan’ |
