The Macallan No.6 is aptly named after the six pillars that form the foundations of the Macallan heritage. Almost haunting in character, the No. 6 is displayed beautifully in a Lalique decanter.

Dark mahogany in colour, with Spanish oak casks delivering rich notes of fig, dates, and toffee apple on the nose.

Ginger and cinnamon dance elegantly around the edges, with a delicate balance of dark chocolate and sweet vanilla that lingers. Heavy and sumptuous on the palate with hints of cloves and orange, the finish is silky smooth and lush.

Nose: Fragrant red apple skin, orange peel, fruit cake, vanilla, and redcurrant.

Palate: Silky dried fruits, almost perfumed, with dark toasty notes and some warming ginger.

Finish: Figs and dark spices.

Overall: Comforting and luxurious Sherried Speyside whisky.
