Macallan 30 Year Old The Colour Collection Single Malt Whisky

Part of the Colour Collection from Macallan, the 30 Year Old Single Malt has been matured in sherry seasoned American oak casks, beautifully accompanied by a delicate touch of European oak.
The Colour Collection, comprising 12, 15, 18, 21, and 30 Year Old expressions, is a celebration of The Macallan's commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning.
A rich interplay of orange and yellow tones gently accentuates the capsule’s deep burgundy hue, creating a visual harmony that reflects the depth and maturity of Colour Collection 30 Years Old. The rich oak finish to the presentation box of the Colour Collection 30 Years Old was carefully chosen to complement the deep chestnut tone of the whisky within.

    Nose:    Pineapple, dried mango, caramelised banana, crème brûlée with sweet aged oak and orange oil.

    Taste:    Tropical fruits with almond, touch of cinnamon and nutmeg intertwined with creamy baked custard and crystalised lemon peel.

    Finish:    Medium with sweet wood spice and tropical fruits.

Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then, Macallan has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies. The creation of The Macallan draws on the vital contributing influences of Spain, North America and Scotland - and of their respective natural raw materials, combined with traditional methods and craftsmanship.
The Macallan distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was “Maghellan”, taken from the Gaelic word “magh”, meaning fertile ground and “Ellan”, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Farmers had been making whisky on their Speyside farms in the area for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months.
