Red Collection 79 Years Old

About

The Macallan Red Collection 79 Years Old is an extraordinary single malt distilled nearly eight decades ago and matured in carefully selected sherry-seasoned oak casks. This supremely rare expression from the prestigious Red Collection represents the pinnacle of generational whisky craftsmanship and The Macallan's heritage. The distillery's signature small stills have been instrumental in shaping its rich and concentrated flavour profile. On the nose, resinous old oak and refined peat smoke lead the way, followed by heather honey, stewed stone fruits, and creamy panna cotta, with hints of dried mango, fig, and citrus zest lingering in the background. The palate reveals gentle wisps of smoke giving way to fresh pineapple and blackberry jam, complemented by black tea, red grape skins, and cedarwood. The finish is remarkably long and complex, with enduring wood smoke, dark chocolate, and a light, refreshing twist of grapefruit that lingers beautifully.
