The Macallan
Scotland
Single Malt
Another year, another greatly anticipated 18 year old Macallan single malt matured in Sherry casks from Jerez, Spain. This is the 1996 vintage and it's just as gorgeous as previous bottlings.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Soft, plump raisins, ginger snaps dusted with cinnamon and vanilla creaminess. Oak in the background.
Stewed apples, again dusted with cinnamon. The oak from the nose develops. Clove and hints of orange peel.
Lasting notes of toffee, raisin and that final hint of oak.
A top-notch dram, rich and satisfying.

Stunning example of a classy sherried Scotch. Magnificent
Amazing bouquet of aromas!
Smooth and delicious. Had this in Syracuse NY on a cold night and was amazed
Full disclosure, this was my first bottle of Macallan 18, and I must say, I am loving it! I recently went to Spain and sampled the delicious Pedro Martinez 30 (as well as their more accessible XO) and let me tell you, the nose on this Scotch brought me back to Barcelona. With that said, the apricot/plum/raisin notes are intense, and the silky-heavy mouth feel is long lasting. My wife picked this up for me for Valentine's Day, and I couldn't be more pleased (with both her and the Macallan). I am generally a Balvenie guy (I like smoke and oak and a little maple/vanilla), but this Scotch is well worth the $$. Sip it and savor it. Drink it neat, and add a splash of water for the second pour. Well done Macallan! Thank You!
so delicious the bottle of MACALLAN18 i like it best
