Macallan 25 Years Old 1989 Artist Collection #5 Single Cask Nr.1232 - La Maison Du Whisky

Description

The Macallan 25 Years Old 1989 Artist Collection #5 by La Maison du Whisky is a highly sought-after single cask release that highlights a more untamed and expressive side of Macallan. Distilled in 1989 and bottled in 2015 after 25 years of maturation, this whisky comes from Hogshead cask no. 1232 and was released at full cask strength of 54.7% ABV. Limited to just 184 bottles worldwide, it stands as a standout expression within LMdW’s prestigious Artist series. On the nose, it bursts with exotic fruit aromas of pineapple, mango, orange and overripe banana, layered with creamy honey sweetness. With time, notes of spiced oak, damp wood, preserved cherries, crème brûlée, leather and mineral tones emerge. The palate is powerful yet balanced, combining salty spice and creamy fruit, with flavours of citrus, apple, pear and pineapple alongside coffee, almonds, dark chocolate and cinnamon. The finish is long and intense, driven by oak, bitter chocolate and orange peel, gradually fading into floral and sweet nuances. This bottling is prized for its complexity, oiliness and vibrant fruit character, making it a coveted collector’s Macallan.
