The Macallan 40 Year Old The Red Collection – 70cl
The Macallan 40 Year Old The Red Collection is a deeply aged Speyside single malt matured for at least 40 years in hand-picked sherry-seasoned oak casks at The Macallan distillery, founded in 1824. Bottled at 47.4% ABV — a higher proof to carry four decades of cask depth.
The Red Collection is The Macallan's aged-statement luxury series. Strictly limited and individually numbered. Packaging features striking artwork designed by Sir Peter Blake.
A definitive collector's and connoisseur's expression — best enjoyed neat to honour four decades of maturation.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Profoundly aromatic — caramelised dried fruit, antique leather, dark chocolate, vanilla, polished oak, gentle smoke, and warm baking spice — extraordinarily mature and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Velvety and concentrated — dark caramel, dried fig, sherried oak, dark cocoa, leather, espresso, gentle smoke, ginger, and warm spice — full-bodied with the depth that only forty years can deliver.
FINISH
Exceptionally long — lingering dried fruit, dark caramel, sherried oak, gentle leather, and a slow warming spice depth fading gracefully — sophisticated, contemplative, and unforgettable.
