Bottled at 105 proof / 52.5% ABV, The Macallan Carta Nautica offers a powerful yet elegant profile. Expect notes of sweet nougat, vanilla, honeycomb, almond brittle, lemon drizzle cake, toffee, golden syrup, poached pear, green apple, candied orange, malt biscuit, citrus peel, and gentle oak spice.

With its striking black label, high-proof format, and distinctive cask composition, this limited Macallan single malt is an excellent choice for Scotch collectors, luxury whisky gifting, special occasion sipping, and fans of sherry oak and bourbon cask-influenced Highland whisky.
