Macallan is one of the world's most iconic distilleries, producing some of the most sought-after whiskies by whisky connoisseurs and collectors alike. Macallan's Curiously Small Stills are amongst the smallest on Speyside. Their unique size and shape give the spirit maximum contact with the copper, helping to concentrate the 'new make' spirit and providing the rich, fruity, full-bodied flavours characteristic of Macallan.
Tasting notes:
nose
A fruit cocktail of pineapple, banana and tropical delights, complemented by the aromas of warm apple pastries, maple syrup and dark chocolate.
palate
Creamy toffee, punctuated by gentle spices and a wonderful collaboration of ripe fruit and spun sugar. It's as if you've been transported to an early morning at a French patisserie, with every sip coating your tongue in delectable, balanced perfection.
finish
Lingers with the decadence of a tiffin slices, full of milk and dark chocolate, raisins and biscuit. Elegant, rich, and long-lasting, this is a whisky that demands to be savoured, appreciated, and celebrated.
