Macallan Speymalt 42 Year Old, Sherry Cask, 1972, Gordon & Macphail, 43%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

91 / 100

Black pepper against creamy milk chocolate and orange peel gives this whisky a clear sweet-and-spiced contrast. The sherry-led fruit sounds inviting, without making the spice feel like the whole story.
