This 1968 vintage 18 Year Old shows the deep, old-fashioned sherry style Macallan was known for before its 1970s stillhouse expansion. Dried fruit, orange peel, leather and antique oak lead the nose, with a dense, chewy palate of raisin, dark toffee and warm spice building through the mid-palate. The finish is long, rich and slightly resinous, with a final note of dark honey and aged leather. A weighty, serious dram, ideal for collectors tracing Macallan`s evolution through the late 1960s.
