Macallan Reflexion is an exceptional single malt that has obtained its colour and flavour from maturation in smaller hogshead casks. This allows a greater surface area of wood to interact with the whisky to deliver an intricate character influenced by both Spanish and American oak casks. The depth of colour and complex flavour profile of Reflexion comes from the use of first-fill casks. These have been carefully selected for this distinctive expression to accentuate its aromas and flavours. Bold and full bodied, Reflexion is a celebration of floral and vanilla notes, punctuated with fresh apples and apricots.
This whisky's deep red mahogany hue is enhanced by the angular facets of the carefully crafted decanter that reflect light to showcase the depth of colour.
Colour: Deep blood orange.
Nose: Fresh zest of orange and citrus fruits. A slight waxy note melts into fresh green apples. Prominent notes of chocolate, thick fudge, boiled sweets, aniseed and caramel toffee, with subtle hints of white chocolate truffles. The aromas evolve into fresh bananas and sweet oak.
Palate: Initial light citrus zest with new oak gives way to succulent sweetness of lemon and orange. Raisin, sultana and apple, with subtle touches of cinnamon and ginger.
Finish: Boiled sweets add balance to a glimpse of toasted oak to give a medium and soft finish.
