Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Near-black mahogany with deep ruby highlights; the darkest natural color in the Macallan range
Nose
Intensely dark and rich — black cherry, dark plum, bitter chocolate, espresso, and heavily sherried oak. Old leather, cigar box, and dried fig. Muscovado sugar and blackstrap molasses. Complex and brooding
Palate
Full-bodied and powerful at 48%. Intensely dark fruit (black cherry, plum, blackcurrant), bitter chocolate, and espresso. Heavy oloroso sherry influence with muscovado sugar, blackstrap molasses, and charred oak. Leather, clove, and black pepper. Bold tannins balanced by fruit sweetness. Viscous and oily
Finish
Very long, intensely dark finish. Bitter chocolate and espresso persist with dark fruit, heavy sherry, and charred oak. Leather and tobacco emerge late. Powerful and memorable
