Distiller Notes
Created using only first-fill Sherry-seasoned oak casks, handpicked by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker from less than 1% of the casks maturing at the distillery. Rich and deep with a bouquet of ripe fruits, honeyed pastries, and layers of cocoa, vanilla, ginger and toffee.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
