Description
Macallan 18 Year Old 1995
Distilled in 1995, this version of the 18 year old is presented in the long-running shiny purple box used between 2006 and 2017.
When Macallan took over their bottling in 1980, they toyed for a few releases with more advanced age-statements of 17 and 18 years old. The 18 was deemed the optimum maturation, and the official 18 year old was launched in 1984. It is now an absolute classic of the whisky world.
Nose: Classic spiced dried fruits and creamy vanilla with orange peel, crystallised ginger and apple wood.
Palate: Rum and raisin, dates, caramel and cloves alongside custard and citrus hints. Rich and satisfying.
Finish: Spices and dried fruits from the palate remain alongside warming ginger and refined oakiness.
Overall: Classic stuff from The Macallan.
