About This Whisky
A 78 year old single malt from The Macallan's Red Collection, selected by Lead Whisky Maker Sarah Burgess and released in 2020.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: A fresh fruit medley of apple, peach and grape moving into fresh lime and verbena.
- Palate: Warming oak spice of nutmeg and ginger opens into raisin, prune, date and a hint of almond.
- Finish: Long and thought-provoking, with every note from the nose and palate returning in turn.
