Description
The Octave Macallan 1991 70CL A stunning single cask whisky, distilled at the Macallan Distillery and specially chosen from the Duncan Taylor whiskey warehouses by the legendary Sir Nick Faldo.
In the Octave range, the best whiskeys are given a final maturation in ex-sherry octave casks, the flavor of the spirit is enhanced by the increased wood contact in the smaller casks, giving you a spectacular dram.
The Macallan 1991 Premium Octave cask has been aged in oak casks for 31 years and then spent the final months in an octave cask.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Polished copper
Nose: A big sherried Speysider bursting with fruit and plum compote. Vine fruits with a background of sweet creamy chocolate. Surprisingly fresh and accessible, with youthful exuberance.
Palate: Initial burst of sweetness tempered with spicy oak. Rich intense fruity notes continue throughout. Oily mouth feel and texture with toffee and leather making a late appearance.
Finish: A wonderfully clean spirit married to perfection with the exuberant cask. The spice of the palate fades to a warming sweetness
