Tasting Notes

Colour: Light gold

Nose: An initial whiff of coconut shavings opens into a bouquet of orchard fruits and gentle nutty aromas. There's a distinct freshness which develops over time, with the fruit become more of a tinned pineapple in syrup. The aromas really improve and round out over time and this still feels incredibly lively

Palate: The orchard fruits are back, juicy and rich with a honeyed texture that coats the mouth and feels wonderfully chewy. Despite this, there is a distinctly fresh feeling and vibrancy throughout. Not a hint of tiredness or bitterness from 30+ years in oak

Finish: The sweetness lingers in a medium finish. A superb example of a 32 year old Macallan, full of life and with plenty left to give if further matured
