Whisky and the Channel Tunnel
1994 was marked by Nelson Mandela becoming South Africa's President and the opening of the Channel Tunnel between England and France.
Macallan made headlines with their 18-Year-Old, an exemplar of sherry-matured Scotch that has become an investment staple. Wemyss Malts, an independent bottler, made its debut, specializing in small-batch releases often named after their primary tasting notes, like "Spiced Chocolate Cupcake." Whisky from this year captures a world leaning into unity and transformation, reflected in both high-profile brand releases and curated selections from smaller bottlers.
