The Macallan Colour Collection 18 Year Old Global Travel Retail

The Macallan Colour Collection 18 Years Old is a Global Travel Retail exclusive Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky created to showcase the distillery’s commitment to natural colour and sherry-seasoned oak maturation. Aged for a minimum of 18 years, it is matured predominantly in American oak casks with a subtle contribution from European oak, all seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Bottled at 43% ABV, it develops an elegant natural light-auburn colour alongside layers of citrus, baked fruit, vanilla, milk chocolate, honeycomb and sweet oak. 

Food Pairing: Pair with milk chocolate, crème brûlée, baked apple tart, orange-infused desserts, honey-roasted nuts, mature cheeses or lightly caramelized pork.

Tasting Notes: Rich yet refined, combining citrus and baked orchard fruit with creamy vanilla, chocolate, honeycomb and mature sweet oak.

Nose: Clementine, panna cotta and baked apples with sultanas, complemented by sweet, mature oak.

Palate: Vanilla sponge, milk chocolate and orange lead into citrus peel, honeycomb and polished oak.

Finish: Medium in length with lingering sweet oak and orange.

Serve: Best enjoyed neat at room temperature. A small amount of water can be added to open the fruit, vanilla and oak character.
