The Macallan 17 Year Fine Oak 86 Proof 750ml

Condition notes: Box has small dents and top of box has a tear

Hailing from the esteemed Macallan distillery, this 17-year-old single malt masterfully combines the best of both bourbon and sherry cask maturation. Its light amber hue hints at the vibrant citrus, vanilla, and sweet oak character that defines this remarkably smooth and elegant Scotch whisky, offering a truly refined sipping experience.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of citrus and sweet oak, leading with vibrant lemon and orange peel intertwined with vanilla, honey, and a hint of ginger. Delicate floral notes and a whisper of coconut add further complexity.

Palate: Smooth and incredibly balanced, the palate mirrors the nose with notes of ripe fruits, especially apples and pears, alongside a creamy vanilla and butterscotch sweetness. The influence of both bourbon and sherry casks is evident, offering a delightful interplay of oak spices, nutmeg, and a subtle nuttiness.

Finish: Medium to long, showcasing lingering sweet oak, dried fruit, and a pleasant spiciness that slowly fades into a warm, mellow smoothness with a touch of chocolate and almond.
