Macallan M Decanter 2020 release is one of darkest spirits in the Macallan range. A pure sensual masterpiece. Dark by nature, it shines a light on a rare selection of fewer than ten, irreplaceable casks. An encapsulation of darkness, light and beauty, all in one. The six facets of the decanter reflect and refract light, bringing the dark whisky inside to life. The prolonged contact with sherry seasoned oak casks have burnished the deep and brooding single malt. The Macallan M presents a chord of rich flavour notes, mellowed to deeply hued perfection.
The Macallan M reflects a dedication to mastery and craftsmanship. A rich amber colour, it's beautifully balanced on the nose with aromas of date, fig and ginger nutmeg leading into a medley of sticky date, baked apple, orange oil and dark chocolate on the palate. Vanilla fudge and a rich oak flavour come through fleetingly before warming wood spices open up to a long lasting ginger and raisin finish.
A whisky with darkness, but rich with promise presented in a light to sparkle in the sun. There could be no better combination of single malt and contemporary crystal glassware to showcase one other.
The Decanter:
The flawless crystal decanter is individually numbered. It is the work of Lalique, experts in glass making since 1888. The inspiration comes from Macallan's six defining pillars; The Macallan’s spiritual home, Easter Elchies House, the curiously small stills, the finest cut of new make spirit, exceptional oak casks, natural colour and peerless spirit. Together, these elevate The Macallan's reputation to heights without equal.
