Specification: Aged in oak casks for at least sixteen years, this much sought-after single malt has the massive peat-smoke that's typical of southern Islay - but also offering a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram. Lagavulin 16 Year Old demands to be served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.
Specification: A lighter style Macallan with flavors of citrus, vanilla and coconut. The addition of American oak bourbon seasoned barrels imparts aromas and flavors slightly drier and more oaky than the american oak sherry casks, with more pronounced aromas and flavors of coconut, but still with the lighter colors and sweetness associated with American oak. Colour: Pale Straw. Nose: Complex with a hint of fruit and heather honey. Palate: Soft and malty balanced with oak and fruit. Finish: Lingering with hints of oak and fruit.
Specification: Crafted to showcase complexity and depth, Rare Cask is drawn from the broadest spectrum of casks, 16 different types, ever identified by the master Whisky Maker. Far less 1% of those casks maturing at the distillery have been identified as fitting to bestow the Rare Cask name. With rarity at its core, this is a whisky crafted from casks so rare they will never again be used in any Macallan whisky. Combining Spanish and American sherry seasoned oak casks, a high proportion of them first fill, gives rise to an exquisite whisky with a splendidly rich hue, and an unmistakably woody whisky. Soft notes of opulent vanilla and raisin on the nose, give way to apple, lemon, and orange. Balanced by a spicy quarter of root ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Oak resonates, timeless, polished and rich. Vanilla and chocolate lead the finale along with a light citrus zest. The finish is full, warming and woody.
