About this whisky
The Macallan is a Scotch whisky from Speyside, in the north-east of Scotland and one of the country's most celebrated whisky regions. It suits a yacht cellar that wants a dependable, well-regarded Scotch on the back bar.
Speyside whiskies typically drink rounded and fruit-led, with orchard fruit, honey, malt and vanilla, and soft spice rather than heavy peat smoke. Serve it neat or with a few drops of water after dinner. It pairs well with dark chocolate, roasted nuts and aged hard cheese, and it holds up over a single large cube of ice on the aft deck.
