PLEASE NOTE THIS BOTTLE DOES NOT COME WITH A BOX.

Launched in 2013 as part of the Macallan distillery's now discontinued The 1824 Series, a range of whiskies based on colour, rather than age. Produced between 2012 and 2018, the series includes Macallan Gold, Macallan Amber and Macallan Sienna. Matured in first-fill Spanish oak ex-sherry casks. Naturally coloured and bottled at 43%.

Nose: Disturbed from a long sleep in a dark and quiet warehouse, European oak piques the nose before reluctantly admitting rich, dried fruits and an edgy trickle of treacle. A hesitant sweetness enters, then oak reasserts itself, burnished and mature.

Palate: A rush of ginger, nutmeg and resin herald orange, sultana and raisin with their restrained but pervasive sweetness. Clove is here and gone, leaving oak the undisputed maestro.

Finish: The finish is long, lingering and reflective.
