The Macallan “A Night on Earth in Scotland”

The Macallan

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 91 Points

This Macallan single malt celebrates Scotland’s annual Hogmanay festivities on New Year’s Eve, and the nose has touches of shortbread cookies, citrus, honey, and vanilla. The taste has notes of orange peel, lemon zest, honey, vanilla, and subtle spices that come alive leading into the finish, which is long with lingering touches of cinnamon and allspice.
