This Macallan 46-year-old centerpiece has been selected from two sherry-seasoned oak casks dating back to 1979. After nearly five decades maturing in Speyside’s distinctive climate, these casks have yielded something truly remarkable. Helmed by Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell, the liquid is said to display an aroma of “tropical fruits charred over smoldering peat embers and elegant antique oak,” giving way to more smoky peat and tropical fruits on the palate, along with dark chocolate-covered raisins.
