Celebrating 200 Years of The Macallan: The 2000 Cask No. 27 24 Year Old
The Macallan 2000 Cask No. 27 24 Year Old is a truly exquisite release from The Macallan distillery. Distilled in the year 2000 and bottled in 2024, this single malt whisky has matured for almost a quarter of a century in a first fill sherry seasoned European oak butt. The rich autumnal russet hue of this Fine & Rare edition sets the stage for a sensory journey like no other.
Upon first nosing, a comforting resinous aroma greets the senses, accompanied by delicate notes of fresh vanilla, ground coffee, and white chocolate. Subtle hints of woody brazil nuts and cinnamon further enhance the olfactory experience. On the palate, a delightful blend of fruity sweetness, reminiscent of chocolate-covered raisins and brittle toffee, gives way to the intricate interplay of oak and forest fruits. Throughout, gentle notes of cinnamon provide a warm and spicy undertone.
The finish is a crescendo of flavors, with rich oak, tangy citrus peel, and lingering sweet spices dancing elegantly on the palate. This special release was filled on the 24th of February 2000 and aged for 24 years, culminating in a whisky that embodies the essence of The Macallan's dedication to craftsmanship and quality. Presented at its natural cask strength, this single cask expression marks the celebration of The Macallan's 200th anniversary and stands as a testament to the unparalleled artistry of one of Scotland's most esteemed distilleries.
