Macallan M Black Decanter | 2018 ReleaseSpeyside Single Malt Scotch WhiskyDistillery Bottling 70cl 44. 8% The 2018 edition of Macallan's M Black Decanter series, this is one of just 850 bottles released. The whisky inside these black Lalique decanters is sherry matured Macallan as you would expect, but the intriguing thing is that it has the added twist of a hint of smoke. The resulting whisky is wonderfully rich with dark fruits, and this leads to the lovely peat smoke flavours that come

Nose: Breathe in delightful waves of Victoria plum

Big notes of burnt toffee
