According to the company, "The seventh release in The Macallan Archival Series explores one of our legendary advertising campaigns from 1986, ‘The Boffins Baffled’, which tells the story of a party of scientists who were left positively baffled when asked why The Macallan was so special.

"After slumbering patiently in sherry seasoned oak casks, maturation within which imparts both rich, complex flavors and resplendent natural color to The Macallan spirit creating an ‘amber-gold nectar positively billowing with flavor’.

The flavor experience of the whisky is explained as follows:

Nose: Dried fruits, baked apple and pear, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, chocolate, orange and oak.

Palate: Raisins, fig, milk chocolate, orange peel, vanilla, baked fruits with light spices.

Finish: Long and creamy with dried fruit and warm spices.
