Description
The Macallan was founded in 1824 in Craigellachie, in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside region. The distillery has built its reputation on carefully selected oak casks and their influence on the colour, aroma and flavour of its single malts.
The Macallan Enigma is the final and most intense expression in the Quest Collection, a range originally created for the global travel-retail market. This whisky was matured in exceptional sherry-seasoned oak casks sourced from a single cooperage in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. It carries no age statement and is bottled at 44.9% ABV.
