The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team expresses their art in this exceptional deep oak single malt matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks with notes of raisin and fig, polished oak, cherry, almonds, orange and treacle.
A palate of sweet oak, vanilla, ginger, apple and a wisp of tea leaf with a finish that is long, sweet, rich and full.
“Art is the Flower - Life is the Green Leaf / Let every
artist strive to make his flower a beautiful living thing
- something that will convince the world that there
may be - there are things more precious - more
beautiful more lasting than life. But to do this you
must offer real living - beautifully coloured flowers -
flowers that grow from but above the green leaf –
flowers that are not dead – are not dying – not
artificial – real flowers springing from your own soul
– not even cut flowers - you must offer the flowers of
the art that is in you – the symbols of all that is noble
– and beautiful – and inspiring - flowers that will
often change a colourless cheerless life - into an
animated thoughtful thing.”
