The Macallan 33 Year Old Single Malt, World Whiskey Society Cask #994

This is a 33 year old Macallan single malt, a single cask selected by the World Whiskey Society. It was distilled on 23 January 1990 and matured in a refill hogshead, cask number 994. It is bottled at natural cask strength, without added colouring and non-chill filtered. The mash bill is 100% malted barley, and the whisky is a yellow honey gold in the glass. The nose is delicate and floral with chalky minerality and citrus; with a little water, gooseberry and bubblegum appear. The palate is silky, with vanilla and a tangy note. The finish brings late butterscotch, subtle oak and lingering warmth.
