The Macallan 1961 Vintage, 54.1%

Price: 1000 Issue: Fall 2002 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

Deep amber color. Complex aromas of lush fruit (orange, lemon, red currant) and oak spices (cinnamon, clove, and licorice). Rich, silky body. Great balance and depth of flavor, with complex fruit and wood spices similar to its aroma all wrapped in toffee and vanilla fudge. Very long, evolving, and satisfying finish.
