Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Golden amber with honey tones; bright and inviting
Nose
Fresh and grassy — barley, honey, orchard fruit (apple, pear), and gentle vanilla. Light floral notes (heather, hay), subtle nutmeg, and clean oak. Distinct terroir character from estate-grown barley
Palate
Medium body with distinctive cereal/barley character. Honey, fresh apple, pear, and vanilla. Light dried fruit and gentle oak spice. Grassy, malty notes that distinguish it from other Macallans. Clean and elegant with a focus on barley quality over cask intensity
Finish
Medium finish. Clean barley sweetness, honey, and gentle oak. Fresh and grassy notes linger with subtle vanilla. A uniquely terroir-driven Macallan
