This 1984 vintage 18 Year Old shows the gamier, meatier profile associated with Macallan`s mid-1980s bottlings, with cloves, orange peel and dried fruit, lifted by a touch of smoke. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, it offers dark chocolate, raisin and warm spice, with classic sherry intensity throughout. The finish is long, spicy and slightly savoury. A serious, traditional dram from the era immediately preceding Macallan`s redesigned packaging and bottle shape.
