The Macallan in Lalique Six Pillars Collection
At The Heart Of The Estate
This rich 62 Years Old single malt whisky, bottled in a beautiful Art Nouveau style decanter, was released in 2014 with only 400 individually numbered decanters made available worldwide. The decanter brings to life our Spiritual Home, Easter Elchies House, in perfect crystal form. The frosted surface on three sides of the decanter represent the manor’s harled surface whilst Captain John Grant’s initials stand proud at the front of the decanter, etched to mimic the date stone. Finally, the bottle neck pays tribute to the crow-stepped gable leading up to the chimney.
The Experience
-
Colour
Rich cherry.
-
Nose
Rich and aromatic. An initial burst of treacle toffee uncovers raisin and blood orange followed by deep aromas of apple, sprinkled with ginger, cinnamon and chocolate. Layers of dark vanilla embellished by soft burnished oak.
-
Palate
Rich dried fruits, with raisin strongly to the fore. Viscous layers of sweet ginger, figs and cigar leaf, before the oak emerges showing the complexity of age.
-
Finish
Long and embracing.
