The Macallan 52 Years Old
Matured in a single hand-crafted European sherry oak butt, the new make spirit was then left to mature slowly and quietly for at least fifty long years. During those decades of slumber, the ancient wood shaped the spirit - delivering the greatest contribution to the character, natural color, distinctive aromas and full flavors at the heart of this single malt. The result is a rich and complex whisky of vibrant amber natural color with flavours of vanilla, spices and fresh fruits and a subtle peat background.
The Experience
-
Colour
Vibrant amber
-
Nose
Wood vanillas open with a hint of spice. Ripe blackcurrants and an earthy tone combine with a background of subtle peat to give a rich body.
-
Palate
Sweet oak vanillas, fudge and toffee coat the mouth. Distinct black peppercorns follow to provide gentle warmth with deep sweetness joining from orange peel and figs.
-
Finish
Incredibly viscous mouth coating, long and slightly dry from the subtle peat notes.
