The Macallan 10 Year Old Sherry Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Any one following the price path of old and discontinued Macallans knows that this is a blue chip distillery when it comes to investor upside. Even younger age statements have out-performed expectations. Given the emphatic praise for the 10 year old from all quarters and its 100% Sherry cask credentials, this is a no-brainer. Expect to be paying much, much more for these historical curios in the years to come – if you can find them at all.

Tasting note: Bright copper colour. Aromas are soft and sweet – delicate scents of honey, dried fruits, orange peel and cocoa merge with subtle toasty/ cereal notes. Off-dry palate has good concentration with sherry input supporting toasty cereals and spice followed by a juicy back palate burst. Clean, drying aftertaste of honey, malt and soft spice. A perfect introduction to an increasingly rare genre. 40% Alc./Vol.
