The Macallan 'The Red Collection' 78-Year-Old is the oldest whisky ever released by Macallan, and it represents the pinnacle of the distillery's craft and long history of creating extraordinary aged single malts. This whisky was released in 2020 as part of The Red Collection, which features some of the oldest and rarest whiskies from the distillery.
Key Details:
- Age: 78 years old
- ABV: 42.2%
- Cask Type: Sherry-seasoned oak casks, a signature element of Macallan's style, which impart rich, dark, and complex flavors.
- Volume: 70cl
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: The nose offers fresh fruit aromas such as apple, peach, and grape, balanced with rich notes of antique leather, vanilla essence, and a hint of spice. The age brings complexity, with layers of both fresh and dried fruit blending harmoniously.
- Palate: On the palate, there are distinct notes of oak spice, rich dried fruits, and vanilla, alongside subtle elements of nutty almond and a touch of smokiness. The influence of the sherry casks provides a sweetness that is well-integrated with the more robust flavors from decades of maturation.
- Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering notes of oak, dried fruit, and a warming spice. The finish is thought-provoking and complex, reflecting the extraordinary length of time this whisky spent in the cask.
