From the 1961 vintage, this Macallan follows the house style of the period closely, with dried fruit, orange marmalade and old oak, soft spice and a gently nutty, rounded palate that builds slowly across the tongue. The finish is warm, mellow and satisfyingly long. Scarce and historically interesting rather than showy, this is a bottle for the serious collector, offering an authentic taste of Macallan`s blending-era character.
