Macallan Reflexion represents the natural colour and beauty of The Macallan - a true reflexion of the foremost influence of first fill sherry seasoned oak casks.
This exceptional single malt has drawn its colour from maturation in smaller hogshead casks allowing a greater surface area of wood to interact with the whisky to deliver an intricate character driven by the influence of both Spanish and Americak oak casks.
A deep red Mahoganny hue, taken directly from the cask is beautifully enhanced by the angular facets of the carefully crafted decanter.
The depth of colour coupled with the complex flavours of Reflexion derive from the casks selected for this distinctive expression by The Macallan's Master Whisky, Bob Dalgarno.
Nose: Rich caramel bow to spices and candy-floss sugars. The first taste is colossal, juicy sherry with raisins spritzed with the Macallan’s signature citrus zest.
Palate: Crisp oak weaves in and out until the finish snaps to a pleasant citrus bitterness with roasted nuts and chocolate.
Finish: A soft wave of baking spices coasts by.

Serge it as ‘the first word that comes to my mind is ‘cognacqy’. In truth, this is cognac. Raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes… And one Mars bar. The most expensive Mars bar ever!’
