Macallan Amber

Macallan Amber

The 1824 Series, which also included the Gold, Sienna, and Ruby expressions, was notable for showcasing the “natural color” of the whisky, which became richer as the range progressed. The Amber expression was aged exclusively in sherry oak casks from Jerez, Spain.

The Macallan Amber forms part of the 1824 Series which exemplifies the brand’s commitment to 100% natural color, present in each and every Macallan single malt. The color of each expression becomes richer as the range progresses and its flavors more intense.

• Color: Amber, derived naturally from the sherry casks.
• Nose: Initially subtle with floral and sweet citrus notes, which build into vanilla, raisins, and cinnamon. It may also have hints of toffee apples and candy floss.
• Palate: Fruity and slightly thick, with fresh green apples, lemon, and a subtle spiciness from cinnamon and ginger.
• Finish: Light to medium, with soft fruits, cereal, and a slightly dry sensation. 

• Whisky auctions: Several websites specialize in whisky auctions and frequently feature bottles from discontinued series. Sites like Wine-Searcher track the availability of such bottles from various merchants.
• Specialty and collector retailers: Certain retailers specialize in rare and collectible whiskies. These shops may have limited stock of Macallan Amber, though prices will likely be higher than the original retail price due to its rarity.
• Whisky forums and groups: Online forums and groups for whisky enthusiasts sometimes feature private sellers who may have bottles from their collections available for sale.
