Macallan Reflexion is a bold and full-bodied single malt whisky with an intense natural color. As part of The Macallan Masters Decanter Series, Reflexion showcases the beautiful range of The Macallan's natural color, embodying the foremost influence of first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks.
Key Features:
-
Appearance: A deep red mahogany hue taken directly from the cask, enhanced by the angular facets of the carefully crafted decanter that reflect light to showcase the depth of color.
-
Maturation Process: Matured in smaller hogshead casks, allowing for a greater surface area of wood to interact with the whisky, delivering an intricate character influenced by both Spanish and American oak casks.

Flavor Profile:
- Nose: Fresh zest of orange and citrus fruits, with a slight waxy note fading to fresh green apples. Robust notes of chocolate, thick fudge, boiled sweets, aniseed, and caramel toffees, with subtle white chocolate truffles. Finishes with fresh bananas and sweet oak.
- Palate: Initial light citrus zest and new oak give way to the succulent sweetness of lemon and orange. Subtle notes of raisin, sultana, and apple, with a hint of cinnamon and ginger.
