The Macallan official tasting notes.
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.

Bottling Notes
Behold one of the modern, crown-jewels in the upper echelons of Macallan whisky mastery. This remarkable single malt was bottled and released in 2018 after a gentle slumber for 50 glorious years in exceptional sherry-seasoned European oak casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. The liquid is presented in a solid oak box featuring an etched face inlaid with a matte gold-badged age statement.
Only 200 bottles were released worldwide with a few allocated to the Australian market and we’re both humbled and blessed to have been given the opportunity to handle this bottle, photograph it, and have it as part of our whisky portfolio.
Nick Savage, The Macallan master distiller comments on this release:
“This wonderfully rare single malt is full of rich flavour and beautiful natural colour. The Macallan 50 Years Old – 2018 Release is an incredible addition to our range of unique, mature whiskies and marks another pinnacle of The Macallan whisky makers’ art. With a finite volume of 200 bottles worldwide, this is a highly limited release, providing the chance to own something world-class and extraordinary“
Investment great whisky that should appreciate nicely over time.
