Interesting fact… The Macallan 10 Year Old Sherry Oak whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be The Macallan 10 Year Old Sherry Oak whiskey, instead of whisky.

The Master of Malt
The malt that made me a whisky lover.
55 years I hated whisky. Then one night I was at the Thainstone Hotel, Inverurie, enjoying a Guiness. There were rows and rows of Macallan. May be it was the open fire, but some reason I said, "I'll try a Macallan please," One sip was a life-changing moment. It was absolutely beautiful. Some months later I took my wife to Aberdeen and showed her The Grill. At that time it had 384 whiskys. The barman informed me that Macallan 10 year old was easily their best seller and I could not help but smile and nod.
Whisky Finesse
A friend and myself decided to investigate this muched hyped Macallan,the investigation led to quite a debate as to wether we had ever tasted a smoother well balanced whisky,it was hard as there are some fantastic whiskies out there,close as it was, we did agree it was up there with the best in this price range.Very very enjoyable.
