Macallan Speymalt 1970 41 Years 1st Fill Sherry Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43.0% Vol. - an absolute outstanding Macallan Single Malt of Gordon and MacPhail!
An superlative vintage 1970 41 year old Macallan Speymalt Scotch Whisky with a long maturing period in selected 1st Fill Sherry Casks and a beautiful dark amber color, which was bottled by Gordon and MacPhail in the Speymalt range in a limited edition on 20th December 2011. Gordon and MacPhail are the only people outside the distillery who still have casks of Macallan at this sort of age. This 1970s Macallan is a superbly aged and now considered a rarity, with particularly pronounced sherry notes, highly aromatic with clove powder, frankincense and fig notes, followed by cocoa, bolivar cigar and molasses.
A real treasure of a whisky and extraordinarily old Macallan Highland single malt - a bottling of the absolute top class for connoisseurs, lovers and gourmets of first class Scotch Whiskys!
Whisky Advocate: On more familiar ground with this Gordon and MacPhail bottling of one of Speyside s most iconic single malts, this is Macallan in full-on sherried form. Highly aromatic with powdered clove, hints of incense and fig, behind which is cacao, Bolivar cigar, and molasses. The palate has immediate smoke and surprisingly gentle tannins -- the inherent oiliness of the spirit keeping any grip at bay. Very long, leathery, prune-like (think armagnac), and dense.
A classic after-dinner mouth-filler.
Aged entirely in first-fill sherry barrels, this is quite possibly the best Macallan I ve ever tasted. The concentration of sherry is absolutely unreal. It s almost impossible to tell where the sherry ends and the whisky begins - it all gets lost in a seamless flavor of rich toffee, syrup, and caramel. I have to believe that anyone who is willing to pay the price will get exactly what they expect from this bottle. It tastes expensive, unlike so many pricier malts that get you on rarity or collectibility only.
