The Macallan Fine & Rare No. 27 24 Year Old

DISTILLED 2000 ~ BOTTLED 2024 ~ CASK №27

The glorious autumnal russet hue of this 2000 Fine & Rare release from The Macallan is attributable to almost a quarter of a century of maturation in a first fill sherry seasoned European oak butt. A comforting resinous aroma with subtle hints of fresh vanilla, ground coffee and white chocolate on the nose mingles with woody brazil nuts and a whisper of cinnamon. On the palate a fruity, buttery sweetness of chocolate covered raisins and brittle toffee gives way to the rich complexity of oak and forest fruits. Subtle cinnamon notes lend a spicy warmth throughout. The finish of rich oak, citrus peel, and lingering sweet spice dances long on the palate. Filled on 24th February 2000 and bottled 24 years later in celebration of the 200th anniversary of The Macallan, this single cask, the first Fine & Rare release distilled in the new millennia, is presented at its natural cask strength.
