Reflexion is part of The Macallan Masters Decanter Series, created to showcase the beautiful range of The Macallan's natural colours, and embodies the key influence of the first filled sherry seasoned oak casks.
Taken straight from the cask, this whiskey's deep red mahogany color is enhanced by the angular facets of the carefully crafted decanter, each reflecting light to enhance the depth of colour.
"A bold and full-bodied single malt with an intense natural colour."

BOLD IN COLOR AND TASTE
This unique single malt gets its color and flavor from maturation in smaller hogshead casks, which allows a larger surface area of the wood to interact with the whiskey and give it a complex character influenced by both Spanish and American oak casks. Reflexion has a deep color and a complex taste, which is due to the use of first-fill casks carefully selected for this particular expression to highlight aromas and nuances of taste. Bold and full-bodied, Reflexion is a feast of floral and vanilla notes spiced with fresh apples and apricots.

AROMA Fresh peel of orange and citrus fruits. A slightly waxy note fades in favor of fresh green apples. Powerful notes of chocolate, thick fudge, cooked candies, anise and toffee caramels with subtle white chocolate truffles. Fresh bananas and sweet oak finish.
TASTE Beginning light citrus peel with new oak gives way to juicy sweetness of lemon and orange. Raisins, sultana and apple with a touch of cinnamon and ginger are subtle.
