Macallan 1979 18 Year Old Sherry Oak (Bottled 1997) Single Malt w/box 700ml

Nose is sweet, reminiscent of dark corn syrup and birch beer; thick, as if you could spread it on a piece of toast, and not as sherried as the 12 y.o. Palate is surprisingly light, becoming a bit aggressive. Sherried at first, then shows tree bark and corn syrup. Finish is sticky, long, and arborial, reminiscent of tree sap. A splash of water removes harshness, turning it into quite an enjoyable dram.

Founded in 1824 in the heart of Speyside, The Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then it has built a reputation as one of the world's leading single malt whiskies.
From its founding, through the subsequent owners of The Macallan distillery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and into the present century, The Macallan has been recognised for its outstanding quality above all else. Today this remains the foundation for the worldwide fame of The Macallan.
