Description

Macallan vintage releases produced by Campbell, Hope & King tended to be aged around the 15 year old mark, but when Macallan took over the responsibility in 1980, they toyed for a few releases with more advanced age-statements of 17 and 18 years old. The latter was deemed the optimum maturation, and the official 18 year old was launched in 1984. It is now an absolute classic of the whisky world. As of 2016, the Macallan 18 year old has favoured stating the release year over the vintage of the whisky on its label.

Nose
Treacle tart with stem ginger, soaked raisins and sultanas with a hint of orange and ground cinnamon, rich dried fruits and warm Christmas spices.
Palate
Soft and rich, with flavours of dark chocolate coated ginger with dates and dried apricots, balanced with oak and the sweetness of vanilla, notes of clove, orange, and mature oak.
Finish
Lingering with dried fruits, ginger and oak, warming spices, over-infused tea and toffee, long and elegant.
