- Description
- A 2003 Macallan from Gordon & MacPhail's Speymalt range, bottled at 58.3% from a single sherry cask in 2022 after 19 years of maturation. The nose opens with warming spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—alongside orange peel and hints of Christmas cake; the palate layers in summer berries, charred oak, fruitcake, and dark chocolate, showing how sherry casks can create multi-dimensional flavour. Full-bodied and spiced, with the richness that extended sherry maturation provides. Excellent for those seeking concentrated, sherried Speyside.
