This whisky comes from the Macallan distillery and is specifically a bottling from the Macallan Rare Casks series. It was introduced to the market in 2015 and represents a unique chapter in the story of this iconic series, as it contains a proportion of smoky distillate, which gives the whisky its gently smoky character. The result is an atypical whisky, wrapped in an elegant black bottle, which highlights its rarity and unusual character. It was created from less than 100 carefully selected casks, mostly first-fill sherry casks from European and American oak, which matured in dark storage rooms until bottling. It is bottled with an alcohol content of 48%, without coloring, but the manufacturer does not provide information about whether the whisky was cold filtered or not. The aroma combines the rich sweetness of dried fruit (figs, raisins, dates) with spicy accents (nutmeg, ginger or cinnamon), covered with a fine layer of peat smoke. The taste develops an intense sherry character, combining fruity sweetness and fine smoke; you can smell notes of caramel, nuts, black pepper, earthy smoke of cinnamon or maple syrup, while the whisky remains full and balanced. Macallan Rare Cask Black is a whisky designed to be enjoyed - it is recommended to drink neat at room temperature to highlight its structure and layered tones of sherry and smoke. However, the strong profile can also handle a few drops of water to reveal hidden fruity and spicy nuances. Thanks to its exclusivity, it is suitable as a luxury gift for a connoisseur. Color: amber with ruby ​​reflections Aroma: dried fruit (figs, dates, raisins), nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, subtle peat smoke Taste: rich sherry fruit, spice, caramel, nuts, smoky layer, saltiness Finish: long, complex and intense, with a rare combination of sherry and peat GLS courier
