What it’s like

The gateway to the range of The Macallan, one of Speyside’s most prestigious distilleries. It combines sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, which gives a sweet, rounded whisky, with more vanilla and honey than the purely sherried versions. There is ripe fruit, toffee and soft spice, without smoke. It is elegant and easy to enjoy, although part of its price pays for the brand. A good gift for those who appreciate sweet whiskies.

Nose
Honey, vanilla and caramel, with candied orange, raisins and a touch of spice and ginger.
Palate
Rounded and silky. Toffee, dried fruit and honey, with vanilla, ripe citrus and soft spice.
Finish
Medium, sweet and spicy, with hints of dried fruit and oak.
