Macallan 20 year old – The Platinum Selection

The Macallan distillery is one of the most popular whiskies in the world, with bottles fetching thousands of pounds and for good reason too, quality and taste are almost unrivalled. This Macallan 20 year old single malt bottled at cask strength is one of only 187 bottles from a single sherry cask and is presented in presentation wooden box with Certificate of Authenticity to go with it, bottled for Douglas Laing. And the following tasting notes..”On the nose detect Seville orange marmalade spread onto hot, ever so slightly burnt toast- together with some distinctly spicy, nutty and baked character. Flavourwise, spicy fruit compote comes to the fore, being also tannic, oaky, with smoked nuts on the palate. All this leads to a long spicy finish, with a dark chocolate bite, smokey oak, and dried citric fruit quality".
