MACALLAN 74 YEARS OLD – THE RED COLLECTION
- Versions are created from some of the oldest and rarest barrels in the world.
Kirsteen Campbell, Master Whiskey Producer at The Macallan said: “Created from some of the world’s oldest and rarest casks it is an incredible privilege to have crafted The Red Collection, the pinnacle of The Macallan’s portfolio.”
During these decades of slumber, the carefully selected wood shaped the unique character of the whisky delivering the natural colour, distinctive aromas and full flavours of this aged single malt. Macallan 74 years old has been matured in the distillery’s oak barrels under supervision over generations during 7 decades.
Released in 2020 & limited edition of just 100 bottles of Macallan 74 years released worldwide. Each bottle is bottled at a concentration of 42,6% ABV, with a volume of 700ml. This will definitely be a big challenge for collectors, investors, or consumers who want to own their own.
- Rich flavor.
Each bottle 74 years in The Red Collection is encased in a hand-crafted oak presentation box created from the same sustainable European oak used to craft The Macallan’s oak casks. These boxes are beautifully upholstered with sustainably sourced soft red leather from Scottish supplier Bridge of Weir Leather, which creates upholstery for leading luxury car brands across the globe.
On the nose: a wonderfully sweet and fruity combination. Rich baked plum combined with Orange Oil and Vanilla. Rich antique Oak envelops the fruity and sweet combination and hints of rosemary are evident. On the palate: The aromatic peat is the first thing to appear and remains throughout the taste. In addition to the aromatic peat is a caramelised pear with toasted hazelnuts, moving into a rich clove and finally a cocoa dusted truffle. All whilst the aromatic peat remains steady. Finish: A long dry peat rich finish with treacle toffee and light citrus.
