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.
It literally tastes as bad a Johnnie Walker Red. Do not buy this and expect a whisky you can drink neat.
Better than I was expecting lovely and smooth
Very easy to drink, lovely and smooth.
A bit strong to the taste bit smooth to the finish
Easy to drink, very nice finish
