Macallan Quest

The Macallan Quest whisky might sound like some sort of epic journey to throw an evil chime hoop into a massive sherry cask, but it’s actually a Travel Retail bottling of Macallan single malt drawn from four varieties of cask – bourbon casks, sherry-seasoned European oak casks, sherry-seasoned American oak casks, and hogsheads. The name is a reference to the lengths taken by the Macallan team to source the best oak to mature whisky in. Each single malt within the range is an exploration of flavour and texture, from vibrant and fresh through to rich and intense, concluding with a whisky that signifies the essence of The Macallan. The Macallan Quest represents the beginning of the Quest Collection journey, in this lively and fresh whisky. STEPPING OUT TO EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN The Macallan Quest pays homage to the entirety of the journey taken by The Macallan to source the best oak across over 20,000 miles; concluding with the selection of four different but complimentary casks types to deliver a single malt whisky that creates a genuine expectation of further exploration and enjoyment. American bourbon casks are combined with hand-picked sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, and hogsheads, to deliver a character of fresh flavours of citrus fruits and sweet vanilla oak. Depicting a blue sky, Quest represents the start of the journey where the world is a canvas and the sky is the limit. Macallan Quest Tasting Notes Nose: Gentle lemon notes arrive first, with milk chocolate and butterscotch leaping out afterwards. Palate: Slightly spicier than the nose, with warming oak and cinnamon developing underneath caramel notes. Finish: Touches of raisin and vanilla pod.
