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: Medium, balanced with fruit, oak and spice. Finish: Lingering with dried fruits, oak and spice.
Specification: The 1824 Collection is a range of Macallans released for the travel retail market. The Select Oak edition is a complex combination of first-fill European oak casks seasoned with oloroso sherry, and American oak casks seasoned with either oloroso sherry or bourbon.
Specification: Using the two Coffey stills at the Miyagikyo distillery, which were imported from Scotland to Japan in 1963, Nikka have produced a number of single cask single grain whiskies from time to time over the years. This, however, is their larger release of wonderfully exotic single grain whisky. Now in a 70cl bottle! Hooray!
