Macallan Easter Elchies Black 2020 Release Single Malt Whisky 0,7L 50%

Macallan Single Malt Whisky Rare Cask Release 2023 0.7L 43% History and production of the Macallan Rare Cask: "The Macallan", this name stands all over the world for outstanding single malt whisky of the very highest quality. Above all, the use of sherry casks has given the Macallan distillery its first-class reputation. Much earlier than the competition, Macallan recognized the enormous importance of cask selection on the taste of the whisky and therefore only used the best sherry casks for maturation. It was not until 2004 that the Fine Oak series was introduced, partly stored in bourbon casks. The single malt whiskies, which are equally popular with connoisseurs and collectors, are considered the flagship of Speyside. Located on the banks of the River Spey, the distillery was licensed in 1824 and is therefore one of the oldest legal distilleries in Scotland. In addition to storage, blending is another crucial factor in developing the taste. Unless it is a single cask whisky, single malt whiskies are created by mixing different casks. This has the advantage that consistent product quality can be guaranteed over a long period of time, and skilful selection allows you to work out a desired taste and aroma profile. At Macallen, this is the responsibility of Bob Dalgarno, who has been with the company since 1984 and who worked his way up from being a warehouse worker to becoming "Master Whisky Maker". With the Macallan Rare Cask, Dalgarno has now presented a masterpiece. From the huge stock of barrels in Macallan's warehouses, he personally selected a number of sherry casks and mixed them together. The vast majority of these casks were first-fill casks, which impart a particularly large amount of aroma and flavor components to the whisky. The Macallan Rare Cask is sold in a stylishly designed bottle and an elaborately designed box that underlines the exclusive character of the Macallan Rare Cask both visually and haptically. Taste of the Macallan Rare Cask: The Macallan Rare Cask is clearly influenced by the sherry casks used. The nose immediately reveals intense, rich aromas of dried fruit, mainly apricots, figs and raisins, honey and spices. In the background, fine cocoa tones can be detected, surrounded by spicy ginger. In addition, there is a subtle ester fruitiness that harmoniously rounds off the aroma and gives the Macallan Rare Cask enormous depth. The Macallan Rare Cask has a full, expressive body and a silky mouthfeel. The finish is long and mild, with a pleasant, extremely delicate smoky note. Overall, the Macallan Rare Cask is a truly outstanding single malt whisky for very special moments, which has a unique aroma and taste profile thanks to its complexity and harmony and is guaranteed to leave nothing to be desired.

Macallan Masters of Photography Magnum Edition 0.7L 43.7% Masters of Photography Series What better way to celebrate a new opening than with a special edition? That's what Macallan thought too and decided to create a new edition of the well-known Masters of Photography series. This edition, strictly limited to 2000 bottles, even has an additional special feature this time: Compared to the previous edition, several well-known photographers from Magnum Photos were brought on board this time: Alec Soth, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Steve McCurry, Martin Paar, Paolo Pellergrin and Mark Power worked together on this project and present impressive images of the Macallan distillery. Master distiller Sarah Burgess created the matching whisky. The new edition consists of a total of eight malt barrels. She deliberately chose barrels that have stark contrasts and characteristics to reflect the different photo styles of the photographers. In detail, there are notes of fresh, spicy ginger, oak wood and fresh hints of citrus fruits on the nose. On the palate there are fruity notes of apples and a hint of peat. You can taste honey and other candied dried fruits before the whisky goes into a medium-long finish.

Rosebank Single Malt Whisky 30 Years 1990/2020 Release 1 0.7L 48.6% 'King of the Lowlands' This is the name by which the whisky from the Rosebank Distillery was once known in its heyday. The distillery, which has been closed since 1993, was officially founded in 1840 by James Rankine. Unofficially, the Stark brothers had been distilling there since the end of the 18th century. Rosebank Distillery is also one of the five founding distilleries of the Scottish Malt Distillers and, as already mentioned, was completely closed in 1993. At the beginning of the 21st century, the remaining buildings were sold to 'British Waterways', and five years later the distillation equipment was stolen from there during British holidays. Finally, the entire property, the last stocks including the trademark rights from the previous owner Diageo, were bought by Ian Macleod Distillers. With Release 1, the Rosebank Distillery wants to start a 'new chapter'. Before the distillery was closed in 1993, however, a whisky was distilled three years earlier, which has been stored in peace ever since. The new 30 Year Old is now being released in a limited edition of around 4350 bottles worldwide.
