The Macallan – Enigma (70cl, 44.9%)

The Macallan Enigma is a Highland single malt bottled at 44.9% in a 70cl bottle. It is the final whisky in The Macallan's Quest Collection, made closest to the heart of the brand, and rich and intense in style. The colour is natural, a Spanish sunset shade. It was matured solely in first-fill, sherry seasoned European oak butts and hogsheads from one cooperage in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The nose brings mature oak, dried fruits, vanilla, sweet pears and cinnamon. Dried fruits and wood spices coat the palate, with ginger, cinnamon and oak giving depth. The finish is long and lingering.
