Extraordinary whisky doesn’t come cheap — and luxury Scotch brand Macallan is positively no exemption. Another delivery from spirits merchant Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky offers an opportunity to add an intriguing (yet expensive) Macallan articulation to balance any whisky collection. The Macallan is a solitary malt scotch refinery generally popular for two things — sherry container development and delivering very old and costly whiskies. The last direction go on with this new 52-year-old expression, albeit the previous varies a piece with a long starting development period in a whiskey barrel rather than a sherry cask.
It’s the most established Macallan whisky that Duncan Taylor has hitherto delivered. Macallan 52-Year-Old goes with the spirit purveyor’s new arrivals of esteemed Scotches Kinclaith 51-Year-Old and Caperdonich 50-Year-Old.”It’s an amazing honor to be the caretaker of these shocking uncommon Macallan barrels.
The whisky shows up in a three-sided, handmade gem decanter demonstrated after a Scottish dagger. The jug arrives in a Scottish oak vessel, with exceptional consideration paid to multifaceted herringbone subtleties and callbacks to historic weapon cupboards in Scotland. Yet, almost 50 years in a whiskey barrel makes this Macallan whisky a novel contribution given the strength of whisky matured in sherry-prepared wood at the refinery.It’s packaged at 41.46 percent ABV and is non-chill sifted with no variety added.
The Scotch begins from a solitary barrel distilled in 1969 — it was first matured in American oak for a really long time prior to being moved into Oloroso sherry containers. Duncan Taylor announced on Wednesday that it would let Macallan 52-Year-Old Scotch Whisky out of its Rarest Collection, as indicated by a Jan. 4 official statement.This is the most seasoned Macallan whisky from Duncan Taylor to date, albeit the organization set several bottlings before this year free from a few less popular refineries that came close in age — Kinclaith 51-Year-Old and Caperdonich 50-Year-Old. This whisky is certainly not an authority discharge from The Macallan; rather, free spirits dealer Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Ltd. is the organization behind the new packaging. That whisky was matured completely in Oloroso containers for an entire 48 years, something that would be normal from this sherry barrel centered refinery.
