Description

A truly historic moment from arguably the most famous name in Scotch whisky, this is believed to be the oldest single malt ever bottled. It is part of The Macallan's exquisite Red Collection, which celebrates the rich spectrum of reds in their whisky and reflects a deep respect for time, tradition, and craftsmanship. The 'new make' spirit was laid down in hand-picked oak casks and matured for an astonishing 78 years, making it the oldest release from The Macallan to date. The presentation box is handcrafted from the same European oak used in Macallan's casks and upholstered with soft Scottish leather.

Nose
A fresh fruit medley of apple, peach and grape moving into fresh lime and verbena. Antique oak and soft leather move quickly into a luxurious dark chocolate and dried fruit sensation. The dried fruits are a balance of dates and raisins. Finally, a rich inviting vanilla cake.
Palate
Warming oak spice of nutmeg and ginger open into the rich dried fruits of raisin, prune, date and a hint of almond nuttiness. The oak rich whisky is warming yet dry with powerful treacle toffee and a baked apple sweetness.
Finish
A long thought-provoking finish, all of the flavours from the nose and the taste make an appearance in this finish.
