LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The legend for a reason. While its price has become prohibitive, the quality remains undeniable. It is a masterclass in sherry maturation, offering a level of depth and 'silk' that almost no other malt can match.

The Library Note

Often referred to as the 'Suntory of the West,' The Macallan 18 is the distillery's most iconic age statement. Its deep, natural color and rich profile are the result of an uncompromising commitment to using only the finest sherry-seasoned oak. It is the spirit that defined the concept of 'the luxury single malt'.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Rich and dried-fruit forward. Aromas of sultanas, ginger, and cinnamon with a hint of orange zest and toasted oak.

THE PALATE

Exceptionally smooth and full-bodied. Deep flavors of dried fruits and spice are balanced by a sophisticated clove and orange oil complexity.

THE FINISH

Enormous and warming with a lingering notes of sweet toffee, ginger, and a final hit of wood smoke.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Neat in a heavy Glencairn glass. Allow it to sit for ten minutes before sipping; the interaction with oxygen allows the tertiary notes of leather and tobacco to fully emerge.

Corn
