RNDC (Young’s Market)® The Macallan – 6043389657247

About the Whisky:
To create Double Cask, The Macallan bring new oak from America across thousands of miles to Spain, where casks are crafted and sherry seasoned before travelling to the distillery in Speyside to mature. At least 18 years later, these whiskies are then harmoniously united with the very best European sherry seasoned oak casks. This marriage creates flavors of rich dried fruits, ginger and toffee, an extraordinary mastery of flavor and natural color.

TASTING NOTES:
COLOR: Amber Honey
AROMA: Dried Fruits, ginger and toffee with rich orange and hints of clove and nutmeg
PALATE: Rich raisin and sultana with notes of caramel, vanilla and ginger balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus
FINISH: Warm oak spice with ginger turning to sweet orange

Awards/Reviews:

95 Points, Top 100 Spirits Of 2021 – Wine Enthusiast

“Assertive caramel and toffee aromas lead the nose. On the palate, vanilla and creamy caramel are enlivened by a hint of orange peel. Adding water creates an even bigger and richer effect, bringing more caramel center stage, finishing long with a sprinkle of cinnamon and cocoa powder. This easy sipper is a 18-year-old single malt rested in ex-Sherry casks.”

92 Points – Whisky Advocate

“Deep notes of wood polish on the floral nose, with toffee and a whiff of cloves. The palate is slick, with Christmas pudding, orange, caramel, oak, and dark chocolate. Black coffee, citrus fruit, ginger, and black pepper in the lengthy finish.”
