Macallan ruby
Every Macallan single malt reveals the unrivalled commitment to the mastery of wood and spirit for which The Macallan has been known since it was established in 1824. It is an expression of our enduring desire to go beyond ordinary, to seek out the extraordinary, and create peerless single malts.
Our reputation for the extraordinary is characterised by the exceptional oak casks for which The Macallan is renowned. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of the Master of Wood, the hand-picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of the Whisky Mastery Team. It is the oak that makes the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours at the heart of this single malt whisky.
Once filled, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed in the same casks for the necessary number of years it needs to be worthy of its destined Macallan expression. It is these oak casks that make the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours which lie at the heart of The Macallan single malt.

Tasting Notes by Stuart P
-
NOSE
Very stylish aromas of hazelnut, dried fruit and sweet spice, with the freshness of raspberries and cherries balancing things out beautifully. Delve deeper and you’ll find some dark-chocolate notes, as well as roasted coffee, demerara sugar and a hint of leather-bound books.
-
PALATE
Smooth mouthfeel, delivering notes of chocolate cake, nuts, red fruits (cherries, raspberries), nutmeg and cinnamon. Rich but not overbearing; there are clearly some top-notch casks at play here.
-
FINISH
Rich and spicy – very satisfying. No single element dominates, with the chocolate, sweet spice and fruit all intermingling. A serious whisky but great fun to drink!.

COMMENT
The ace in the pack of Macallan’s 1824 Series, this is rich and rewarding. Perfectly balanced and highly impressive.
