    The new Macallan 1824 Series consists of four NAS-bottlings, which was a very contested matter in the blogosphere. The famous distillery concentrated on color rather than age and named them Gold, Amber,… read more

    This Macallan was bottled under the Speymalt label. It is a distillate from 20th November 1970 (I had not even celebrated my first birthday!) and bottled on 1st September 2010, especially for La Maison… read more

    The next whisky in this little Macallan line-up comes from a bourbon cask. It is a single cask that was bottled by A.D. Rattray in 2011. The nose is surprisingly fresh and floral. Dried grass and hea… read more

  • Macallan Macphail’s 10 Year Old - Masked Macallan?

    This bottling from Gordon & Macphail does not name a distillery, but rumour has it this is a Macallan as well. Hence I taste it in this little line-up. It is simply named Macphail’s 10 Year Old and has… read more

    Gordon & Macphail, the well known bottler from Elgin, released this 9 Year Old Macallan under their Speymalt banner, an obvious reference to the region of production. It is matured on a sherry cask, wich… read more

    After the mediocre Macallan Twenties, let me try the Thirties now. Again matured on sherry and again a small bottle of only 50cl. This smells a lot better than the Twenties. Dried fruits but with loads… read more

    In 2001 Macallan released the so-called Travel Series in small boxes that you could put next to each other to created a little diorama with a car, boat, train and plane. Nice gimmick, but is the whisky… read more

    The few times I have had this have all been at a nice local restaurant in my parent's town. We go there occassionally, and we recently went there to celebrate nothing other than the joy of life, and to… read more

    There was a time when I remember wanting to drink only Sherry influenced whiskies and this expression was the reason why. The nose is pretty much in perfect harmony. Big, fat, juicy, red grapes covered… read more

    This is what every Speyside single malt should taste like. Delicate and sensitive as well as bold and courageous. Incidentally this is one of the first single malts I had ever bought and I think it was… read more
