Macallan Fine & Rare 35 Year Old – 1940 Vintage

The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection is renowned for its extraordinary vintage releases, and the 1940 vintage stands out as a true piece of whisky history. Distilled in 1940 and first bottled by Gordon and MacPhail in 1975, this 35 year old single malt was later officially re-bottled by Macallan in 2002. With only 420 bottles produced, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the most collectible expressions from Macallan.

This peated single malt offers a captivating mix of floral delicacy, citrus fruit, and gentle charred smoke on the nose. The palate is rich and oaky, featuring dried fruit, sweet nuttiness, caramelised apple, and subtle smokiness. The finish is drying, with notes of cinder toffee, spice, and dying bonfire embers.
