2014 The Macallan 15 Year Fine Oak Triple Cask Scotch Whisky 86 Proof 750ml

The Macallan 15 Years Old Triple Cask Matured is a testament to the distillery's innovative approach to maturation, combining European sherry oak, American sherry oak, and American bourbon oak casks for a minimum of fifteen years. This meticulously crafted Scotch whisky delivers a sublime harmony of vibrant citrus, rich vanilla, and delicate spice.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and inviting bouquet, showcasing sweet citrus fruits like lemon and orange zest, intertwined with warm vanilla, honey, and a delicate floral lift. Underlying notes of ginger and cinnamon spice from the oak casks, alongside hints of green apple and dried apricot.

Palate: A beautifully balanced and smooth texture coats the palate. Initial sweetness of dried fruits (raisins, sultanas) and honey gives way to a creamy vanilla and butterscotch core. There's a gentle spice of nutmeg and ginger, with a hint of toasted oak and dark chocolate emerging, balanced by a refreshing citrus tang.

Finish: Medium to long, elegant, and warming. The finish leaves lingering notes of sweet toffee, dried fruit, and a pleasant, dry oak spice with a touch of citrus zest. Very clean and harmonious.
