About The Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky:

Founded in 1824 in the heart of Speyside, The Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Since then it has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies.

The distillery’s latest creation, The Macallan 1824 Series is a sophisticated collection of four unique expressions – Gold, Amber, Sienna and Ruby – redefining the way Scotch whisky is evaluated. The 1824 Series brings together natural colour and exceptional sherry seasoned casks – two of The Macallan’s “Six Pillars”, the starting points from which The Macallan is crafted. Together these traits create a signature character, embracing all of the defining elements that make The Macallan one of the world’s truly great single malt whiskies.

The Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky Product:

The Macallan Amber is the second bottle in The Macallan 1824 Series, boasting a natural amber colour and a floral, citrus nose with a presence of vanilla. On the palate, fresh green apples and lemons mingle with cinnamon alongside ginger and fruit notes, with subtle oak flavours. The finale is light to medium, with soft fruits and cereal, slightly dry.

Availability: Currently available across Canada.
