The Macallan - 50 Years - 2018 Release

The Macallan 50 Years Old 2018 Release is an extraordinary expression that reflects The Macallan's enduring pursuit of excellence in time, wood and craftsmanship. Distilled in 1967 and matured for five decades at The Macallan Estate near Craigellachie in Speyside, Scotland, this exceptional single malt was drawn from a single European oak sherry seasoned cask, allowing decades of interaction between spirit and wood to create remarkable depth and refinement.

Released in 2018 as a limited edition of just 200 bottles worldwide, it represents a rare opportunity to experience one of The Macallan's most distinguished aged expressions, presented in a handcrafted oak case designed to reflect the elegance and heritage of the distillery.

On the nose, it reveals layers of dried fruits, rich oak, dark chocolate and gentle spices, complemented by notes of orange zest, vanilla and mature wood. On the palate, flavours of raisins, fig, cocoa, cinnamon and ginger unfold with exceptional richness, balanced by refined oak influence and a delicate sweetness developed through decades of sherry cask maturation. The finish is long and sophisticated, with lingering notes of dried fruits, spice, chocolate and polished oak that showcase the remarkable character of a fifty-year-old whisky.
