Just Tasted - Macallan 25 Year Old Single Cask 6994

Bottled by Càrn Mòr, we recently sampled this new single cask from The Macallan distillery... Bottled under their excellent Celebration of the Cask range, this Speyside malt was distilled in 1989 and aged for 25 years. Given a sherry cask finish, 280 bottled were filled in 2015 at 42.5% vol. What did we think of Macallan single cask 6994? The nose gives off dried apricot, calvados, a slight malty note along with vanilla fudge, spring cut grass, orange blossom & hint of liquorice. The palate, fresh cut grass, a gentle touch of spice, ginger with a hint of white pepper. Apple & pears. This dram has a really nice mouthfeel, 'waxy' which I like. The finish is reasonably long; spice, malt and grassy notes. Overall this is a really nice whisky, easy drinking with the lovely flavours. The relatively low ABV makes it go down rather easy... Ill let you judge whether that's a good thing or not! Macallan Single Cask 6994 is available from our online whisky store priced at £403.90 Slàinte
