What Should I Expect?
Vanilla and raisin on the nose, give way to apple, lemon, and orange. You’ll also notice root ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. The Oak resonates as timeless, polished and rich. Vanilla and chocolate lead the finale along with a light citrus zest. The finish is full, warming and woody.
The Macallan Rare Cask Black – Steven Klein Limited Edition
Unlike any other Macallan today, Rare Cask Black has a surprising yet subtle distinctive smoky flavor. There is a full-bodied richness that comes from the European and American oak casks, of which most are first fill. This Macallan was released as part of the Masters of Photography range and displays imagery created by Steven Klein.
For reference, Steven Klein has worked with Madonna and Lady Gaga, shot campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton, and produced magazine covers for Vogue.
What Should I Expect?
Dried fruits, nutmeg, ginger and beautifully polished oak, plus dates, figs, and raisins. It is a heavy but sweet whiskey. A dry smokiness reveals itself, yielding to softer oak tones. The finish is long, fruity with an elegant wood smoke.
