The Macallan Aera Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl 40%

The Macallan Aera, released in 2018 for the Taiwanese market, is a bold release for the Speyside distillery. Matured primarily in Sherry Seasoned Oak casks, the distillery claims ‘an exquisite whisky experience’ – we couldn’t agree more. Nose: Well balanced with vanilla, dried and citrus fruits. Palate: Hints of chocolate, dried fruit, smooth honey with a sweet citrus burst. Finish: Medium to long, with lingering vanilla and a gentle warmth.
