Macallan 1950/2009 Single Speymalt - Refill Sherry Butt G&M
Special features: This noble Macallan was distilled in 1950 and bottled in 2009 by Gordon & MacPhail as a Single Speymalt. The maturation in a refill sherry butt for 59 years has resulted in remarkable depth and complexity. Such long maturations are rare and make this bottling a coveted collector's item.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A complex bouquet of dried fruits, spices, and a subtle oak note.
Palate: Full-bodied with flavors of ripe berries, chocolate, and a hint of smoke.
Finish: Long and warm, with lingering notes of spices and a slight sweetness.
