Balanced notes of nectarines, sugared almonds, malt, vanilla and toffee on the nose, rich on the palate with malt, sherry, sultanas and orange peel. The notes are accompanied by warming oak flavours in the background. The finish is long, with light vanilla tones. Macallan was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, making it one of the first legal distilleries in Scotland. It is located on the banks of the River Spey, a region with the ideal climate that creates unique conditions for whisky production. The Macallan's reputation is founded on a product of outstanding quality and distinctive character, built on a set of guiding principles. From place to process, people and passion - the six pillars form the backdrop for The Macallan's unique spirit. Today, the new Macallan distillery and visitor experience combine its whisky-making heritage with its innovative vision. Designed by internationally acclaimed architects Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the iconic development of The Macallan's home embodies the care and superior craftsmanship that goes into every bottle of their single malts.
