- Description
- An 18-year Macallan drawn from a single first-fill sherry cask and bottled in 2023 by Gordon & MacPhail under their Speymalt series. The long maturation in active wood has built layers of fruitcake richness, cocoa, and charred oak that speak to both age and cask influence. A measured, contemplative dram for those who value development and complexity in their Speyside whisky.
