This fine Gaelic Whisky has been specially selected and finished in Madeira casks following traditional maturation in Bourbon wood. The double maturation adds to the complexity giving a soft sweetness to the limited edition MacNaMara Madeira Finish.
WHY THE NAME?
Mac Na Mara signifies in Gaelic “the Son of the Sea”, echoing the ancient maritime tradition of the Hebridean Islands of Scotland and their historic association with the Celtic sea kingdom that dominated the great seafaring routes from the Isle of Man to the Isle of Lewis from medieval times until well into the 16th century.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Almond blossom and cherry pie, with overtones of spice carried on an exotic maritime breeze.
Palate: Rich layers of malt and a whisper of peach are rounded by a bite of bright citrus marmalade. A buttery sweetness from the Madeira cask and golden raisin notes give a pleasing balance.
Finish: A slightly creamy finish, with gently lingering baked apples and a touch of drying wood.
