“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.”
Jason Fendrick
Description
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!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Gentle lemon notes arrive first, with milk chocolate and butterscotch leaping out afterwards.
Palate
Slightly spicier than the nose, with warming oak and cinnamon developing underneath caramel notes.
Finish
Touches of raisin and vanilla pod.
