This is a 16 year old Macallan from the 2008 vintage, bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society as cask 24.188 under the name Flamenco Fruitcake. It comes in a 70cl bottle, one of 307 drawn from a single cask.
The whisky came from an Oloroso butt and was then finished in a first-fill Oloroso hogshead for extra maturation and depth of colour.
The nose offers wood oils, walnut, dried figs, mango and raisins. On the palate come brandy butter over fruitcake, port and chocolate ganache, with orange peel, poached pear and tobacco once water is added. The finish is nougat, praline and a toffee and nut chocolate bar.
