Macallan Easter Elchies Black 2018 Release

2018 was very much about the “new” at Macallan, with its state-of-the-art new distillery opening in the summer. However, November also found time for a long-awaited return from the past, the Easter Elchies series. The first releases to bear the name of the distillery's famous manor home were the Easter Elchies Seasonal Selection, launched in 2005, followed by a highly-acclaimed and equally sought-after single cask series. The last of these was bottled in 2013.

After a five year hiatus, Macallan launched the Easter Elchies Black. The release was intended to embody the “warmth” and “timeless luxury” of the eponymous house, and advertises notes of citrus, apple and sweet peat smoke.
