Description
The Macallan Red Collection reflects our deep respect for time, tradition and craftsmanship. It is a celebration of the rich range of reds present naturally in The Macallan—in every step of the process.
PATIENT MATURATION
The Macallan Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell, presents a peerless single malt whisky that has slowly matured over six extraordinary decades under the watchful eye of generations of whisky makers, until it has reached this perfect moment of maturation. The ‘new make’ spirit from The Macallan’s small copper stills was laid down in hand-picked oak casks and left to mature for sixty years.
During these decades of slumber, the carefully selected wood shaped the unique character of the whisky delivering the natural colour, distinctive aromas and full flavours of this aged single malt.
THE EXPERIENCE
COLOUR
Polished Mahogany
NOSE
A combination of sweet and fruit notes on the nose; baked peach and pineapple with figs and dates. Orange with wisps of cocoa beans, and hints of leather merge creating a luxuriously resinous aroma.
PALATE
Dry antique oak note and hints of ginger developing into tropical papaya and mango. The orange notes develop on the palate into a rich orange and lime marmalade flavour with bitter sweet combinations of cocoa, vanilla, and raisin.
FINISH
A complex finish with lime, liquorice and dark chocolate.
