Macallan Easter Elchies Black 2019 Release – A Tribute to Tradition and Elegance

Macallan Easter Elchies Black 2019 Release is a special edition that pays homage to the rich heritage of the Macallan Distillery. Named after the iconic Easter Elchies House, the historic home of Macallan, this whisky embodies the sophistication and depth the brand is known for. Aged in carefully selected sherry casks, this expression offers a deep and complex tasting experience with a subtle smoky undertone, a rare characteristic within the Macallan range.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich aromas of dried fruits, such as raisins and figs, emerge first, followed by layers of dark chocolate and orange zest. Hints of cedarwood and spicy cinnamon add depth, while a delicate smokiness lingers elegantly in the background.

Taste

Full-bodied and layered, with remarkable complexity. Flavors of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and dates are perfectly balanced by notes of oak, clove, and a touch of sweet sherry. The smoky accents continue to develop, seamlessly interwoven with the rich sherry influence.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of cocoa, dried fruit, and a gentle smokiness that slowly fades. A luxurious and refined whisky that showcases the signature Macallan style with a distinctive twist.

A unique feature of Macallan is its use of exceptional quality oak casks for maturation, including ex-sherry casks of European and American oak. These casks give Macallan whiskies their characteristic rich, full flavour profiles with notes of dried fruit, herbs, chocolate, vanilla and a spice. Macallan is also known for its wide range of limited editions, appreciated by enthusiasts worldwide.

The distillery opened a state-of-the-art production facility in 2018, combining modern techniques with traditional craftsmanship. The combination of a beautiful location, high-quality casks and a commitment to quality makes Macallan a leading name in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
