The Macallan Quest might sound like some sort of epic journey to throw an evil chime hoop into a massive sherry cask, but it's actually a Travel Retail bottling of Macallan single malt drawn from four varieties of cask - bourbon casks, sherry-seasoned European oak casks, sherry-seasoned American oak casks, and hogsheads. The name is a reference to the lengths taken by the Macallan team to source the best oak to mature whisky in, and it comes in a nice big one-litre bottle.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Gentle lemon notes arrive first, with milk chocolate and butterscotch leaping out afterwards.
Slightly spicier than the nose, with warming oak and cinnamon developing underneath caramel notes.
Touches of raisin and vanilla pod.

I had it on a cruise earlier this year.... Guess I should have paid attention to the fact that I could only get it as a travel purchase.... If you're reading this, and have the chance - don't hesitate. If I could buy it in my local liquor store, they wouldn't be able to keep enough in stock for me.
Very good. Slighly dry on palette, some chocolate and cokkies in finish.
Good taste and easy to drink
Macallan FAILED!
Absolutely delicious. Loved every drop of this gem from MacAllan.
