Description

This impressive 74 year old was launched in October 2020 as part of The Red Collection. The range also includes 40, 50, 60, 71, 74, 77 and 78 year old expressions, some of the oldest whisky ever bottled by the distillery. The colour Red has a myriad of significance for Macallan, from its founder's name, Alexander Reid, meaning 'the red one,' to the label aesthetic being an homage to the oldest vintages bottled from the distillery in the late 1970s and Allan Shiach marking them with red ribbons in the 1980s. The whisky has been nurtured through over seven decades of patient maturation in hand-selected sherry-seasoned oak casks, delivering natural colour, distinctive aromas and full flavours. It is presented in a handcrafted European oak case with sustainably sourced leather.

Nose
Initially, you are greeted by notes of plum, orange oil, and antique oak. Furthermore, these aromas are balanced by a delicate hint of aromatic peat smoke and dried ginger.
Palate
On the tongue, the texture is oily and luxurious. In addition, it delivers a sophisticated blend of treacle, dark chocolate, and a touch of saltiness that leads into a woody spice, caramelised pear with toasted hazelnuts, moving into a rich clove and finally a cocoa dusted truffle.
Finish
The finish is incredibly long and drying. Ultimately, it leaves a lingering warmth of sweet wood smoke and a faint citrus zest.
