Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Distilled at Easter Elchies during the Swinging Sixties and laid down in a solitary first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, this venerable malt slumbered for close to half a century before G&M released it—non-chill-filtered and natural in colour—at a contemplative 43 % ABV. The result is a spellbinding tapestry of dark-fruit richness, polished mahogany and rancio-tinged spice that epitomises classic sherried Macallan.
