The Macallan 18 Year Old 43% ABV / Distillery Bottling Category: Speyside Compare Prices: Macallan
Description: The epitome of Speyside malts. So rich and full and smooth, a huge malt with lots of Sherry flavour.
Tasting Notes: Up-front, rich and honeyed with wine-like sweetness and hints of almonds, pears and heather at the finish.
Method of Production: Pure borehole water is mixed with lightly peaty, ground Golden Promise barley malt. Macallan use 90% of Scotlands annual crop of this superior barley. Fermentation in stainless-steel washbacks precedes distillation in directly fired pot stills. Each wash still feeds 2 spirit stills, the small spirit stills give rich spirit. Macallan take the best 17% of each distillation (less than other distillers). 18 years ageing in Sherry casks gives great richness.
