Macallan Edition No. 6
Macallan Edition No. 6, NAS, 48.6 %
This is the last release in the Edition Series from Macallan. I am sad to see this series go as there have been several really good bottlings in this series.
The following cask types have been used in making the Macallan Edition No. 6:
1st fill American oak Tevasa butts
1st fill European oak JMM hogsheads
1st fill European oak Tevasa butts and hogsheads
1st fill American oak Vasyma butts
2nd fill American and European butts
You can buy the Macallan Edition No. 6 starting today at NOK 1320 (12441701).
Nose: Lovely, delicate sherry nose. Mild, died fruits - figs, dates and apricots. Vanilla ice cream with rich fudge. With time richer and almost creamy on the nose.
Taste: Full bodied. The palate matches the nose closely., but not quite as creamy and not as sweet. In fact it is a bit dry in character
Finish: Medium long finish and then some. Loosens up and provides more fruit - dried and more fresh orchard fruits. Sweet on the finish.
Comment: Delightful! One of the better in the edition series, especially the nose.
