Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich amber gold; intense and full appearance befitting the higher ABV
Nose
Intense and punchy at cask strength-adjacent ABV. Rich dried fruit, dark chocolate, and sherry. Vanilla, orange peel, and warming ginger. Oak char, toasted almond, and caramel. Bold and immediate
Palate
Full-bodied and powerful. Concentrated dried fruit (raisin, fig), dark chocolate, and orange zest. Rich sherry, caramel, and toasted oak. Warming ginger, cinnamon, and clove. Higher ABV delivers intensity while maintaining Macallan's signature smoothness. Opens beautifully with a drop of water
Finish
Long, powerful finish. Intense sherry fruit and dark chocolate with warming spice, oak char, and lingering caramel. Dried fruit sweetness persists through the warmth
