This is part of the reason why The Macallan has often been advanced as one of the more approachable Scottish single malts for American palates more accustomed to the rich (and non-peated) flavor profile of bourbon. Also as you would expect for The Macallan, there are several references to any peat character being вЂњsubtle,вЂќ as The Macallan is known for being one of the least peaty/smoky of the classic Speyside single malts. A few things to note: вЂњNatural colorвЂќ implies that after 50 years in the wood there was no need to use artificial colorings, even though scotches are typically matured in used American whiskey casks, which contribute less color naturally. Well, that sounds pretty good, we must say. Limited edition of only 470 individual bottles in the world containing very rare 50 Years Old Macallan single malt whisky. The finish is an incredibly viscous mouth coating, which is long and slightly dry from the subtle peat notes. Whiskey: Macallan 50 Year Old Single Malt ScotchThis stunning Speyside single malt is a limited edition of just 200 bottles, each one aged for half a century in hand-crafted European oak sherry-seasoned casks from Jerez, Spain. The palate leads with flavors of sweet oak vanilla, fudge and toffee, soon making way for black peppercorns to provide a gentle warming, with deep sweetness joining from orange peels and figs. Wood vanillas open on the nose with a hint of spice before ripe blackcurrants and an earthy tone combine, with a background of subtle peat.
