Available in limited quantities, the full-flavored 25 Year Old Macallan is the essence of everything that is The Macallan - a beautiful color, a heady nose, an exquisitely mellow flavor. The rare product drinks like a fine brandy.
The Macallan was one of the first Highland distilleries to take out a licence in 1824, and since then it has been distilled by generations of craftsman on a small estate over looking the River near Craigellachie.
The key to understanding The Macallan lies in the Company’s total dedication to quality and attention to detail. A purposefully tradtionalist distillery, no short cuts are taken in time, investment and production of “the best glass.” Alongside its unusally small handbeaten copper stills, The Macallan is perhaps best known for its insistence on sherry aging. The Macallan malt whisky is matured excluvisely in sherry oak casks from the bodegas of Jerez, Spain.
Generation
The Macallan Fine Oak Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whiskey is triple cask matured in a unique, complex combination of exceptional oak casks:
The Tormore Distillery produces a perfect malt for the contemporary taste. The spirit quality is enhanced by the copper purifiers on all eight stills, giving a subtle smoothness and balance to the whisky.
The 25 year old Tomatin is a rich, full whisky with a predominantly malty fragrance. On the palate, the spirit is quite dry, with an aromatic aftertaste - which leads one to naturally address it again.
A wonderful award-winning Island malt bottled at above average strength with a comforting smooth afterglow. A rich dried-fruit sweetness with clouds of smoke and strong barley-malt flavours, warming and intense. At the back of the mouth is an explosion of pepper. Huge, long, peppery finish with an appetising sweetness.
Macallan 18 year Scotch. Burnished gold in color, with aromas of oak and sherry; the body is huge and silken with a very complex body with hints of leather, licorice, and tobacco.
Macallan Cask Strength is bottled straight from the wood as nature intended, some might say. Malt whisky is typically “reduced” (or diluted) when bottled, to achieve a standard level of 43 percent alcohol by volume.
Laphroaig 10 Year Old is an all-malt Scotch Whisky from the remote island of Islay in the Western Isles of Scotland. Laphroaig, pronounced “La-froyg”, is a Gaelic word meaning “the beautiful hollow by the broad bay”. In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour. Laphroaig is best savoured neat, or with a little cool water. Roll it around on your tongue. Release the pungent, earthy aroma of blue peat smoke, the sweet nuttiness of the barley, the delicate heathery perfume of Islay’s streams. It is as unique as the island itself.
Lagavulin Single Malt 16 Year is a much sought-after single malt with the massive peat-smoke that’s typical of southern Islay - but also offering a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram. Dry peat smoke fills the palate with a gentle but strong sweetness, followed by sea and salt with touches of wood. A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed
Johnnie Walker Gold Label — a rare blend of over 15 single malts, including the very rare Clynelish malt. It was derived from Alexander II’s blending notes for a whisky to commemorate Johnnie Walker’s centenary. His original efforts were thwarted by a shortage of these malts following World War I.
