Macallan 22y/o 2001 Speymalt Gordon & MacPhail 53.6%ABV 15ml / 30ml

Official Tasting notes

Nose: Stewed fruit aromas give way to pressed apple and autumnal spice.

Taste: Dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts & treacle toffee.

Finish: Long and full with black pepper.

Macallan is a legendary Speyside distillery and was for decades the king of sherry cask whisky. However, over the past 30 years Macallan has lost its way as it has expanded and become more focused on marketing and positioning itself as a luxury brand. To get anything resembling the legendary Macallans of yesteryear you have to spend several  thousand dollars. However, savvy whisky fans will look out for Signatory Vintage Speyside (M) or Gordon & MacPhail Speymalt Macallan to get a taste of what created the hype in the first place at a price that is not ridiculous.
