Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
Macallan Gold was released in late 2012 as part of a series of colour-themed bottlings introduced to replace the distillery's age-statement expressions. Gold has been produced from 9-15yo first fill and refill sherry casks and is designed to sit between the now-defunct 10yo Sherry Oak and 10yo Fine Oak bottlings.

Just got a bottle last night at my birthday whisky session/celebration (8 lads, 9 drams = EPIC!!)... Beautiful stuff... Nose delivers on the notes above. Chocolate notes stand out and occasionally you get a hint at marzipan. Palate is gorgeously smooth, I can only sum it up as "elegant". No harshness here. At 35quid a bottle, definitely recommend.
