The Macallan 65yr Lalique Crystal

Supremely balanced with comforting notes of honey-dipped Madagascan vanilla pods, cinnamon and Moroccan dates. Medium body with hints of cracked black pepper, cloves and delicately toasted cocoa beans. The finish is very long and deeply satisfying with a rich flavor of honey and dark chocolate.

Also known as Macallan in Lalique VI, this is the final release in Macallan's extraordinary Six Pillars Collection started back in 2005. The exquisite Lalique crystal decanter itself features the Macallan triangle leading into a 'peerless drop', crafted with the blown-and-pinched technique René Lalique used to produce stunning perfume bottles back in the early 20th century. Matured for 65 years in ex-Sherry casks, this aptly named 'peerless spirit' is one of the oldest single malt Scotch whiskies ever released.
