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.

Released in 2005 and limited to only 470 individually numbered decanters worldwide, the first decanter in the Lalique Six Pillars Collection contains an alluring 50 Years Old Macallan single malt. Taking their inspiration from the exceptional oak casks in which The Macallan is matured, the master craftsmen of Lalique created a decanter which unites intricately etched details that represent our mastery of wood with a realization of the art nouveau style that is synonymous with Lalique.

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.
