Distilled in 1975 and bottled at eighteen years, this Macallan carries dense dried fruit, orange marmalade and old leather, with antique oak and warm spice underneath. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, showing raisin, dark chocolate and clove, it finishes long with a gentle gaminess that lingers pleasantly, closing on a note of aged oak and dried orange peel. A serious, well-structured dram that reflects Macallan`s character during its period of rapid 1970s growth and expanding reputation.
