The Macallan Fine & Rare 1993 27 Year Old Cask #3939

The Macallan Fine & Rare 1993 is a highly limited 27 Year Old single-cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the prestigious Fine & Rare Collection. Distilled in 1993 and bottled in 2020, it matured in a single sherry-seasoned American oak hogshead, Cask #3939. Bottled at 50.2% ABV, only 256 bottle equivalents were produced. Its warm mahogany colour accompanies an exceptionally mature profile of vanilla fudge, citrus, red cherry, plum, peach and fig, developing into dark chocolate, sweet oak, grapefruit, ginger and antique oak. 

Food Pairing: Pair with dark chocolate, cherry tart, dried figs, caramelized grapefruit, roasted nuts, fruitcake or mature hard cheeses.

Tasting Notes: Rich and mature with a combination of sweet fruit, dark chocolate, seasoned oak and warming spice, supported by deeper antique wood and leather-like complexity.

Nose: Vanilla fudge and citrus with red cherry, plum, peach and fig, followed by cinnamon, ginger and touches of antique oak, leather and cigar box.

Palate: Sweet oak and rich dark chocolate lead into caramelized grapefruit and vanilla, developing ginger, citrus, liquorice, mint and forest fruit.

Finish: Long and complex, with lingering mature oak, dark chocolate, warming spice and subtle fruit sweetness.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a whisky tasting glass. At 50.2% ABV, a few drops of water may be added gradually to open the fruit, chocolate and spice characteristics.
