Footnotes
Notes from The Macallan
The Macallan Red Collection reflects our deep respect for time, tradition and craftsmanship. It is a celebration of the rich range of reds present naturally in The Macallan—in every step of the process.
The distinctive red colour weaves its way through our history, starting with the name of our founder Alexander Reid—literally "The Red", to The Macallan's 'Choice Old' range released over a century ago in 1903, through to Allan Shiach marking vintage bottles of The Macallan with a red ribbon in the 1980s.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Vintage oak
Nose: Antique oak and soft leather, light floral notes, rich cocoa and black cherry and ginger.
Palate: Warming combination dried fruits and wood spices moving into dates and dark chocolate, orange Oil and hints of sultanas.
Finish: Rich and complex with slight effervescent feel, with a long lasting finish of raisins, dates and creme brulee.
