The Macallan Rare Cask - Pre 2018 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“I had a dram of this as part of a Father’s Day tasting set (my 2 month old son has excellent taste). I thought it was a lovely, complex, clean sherried malt with some very old whisky in there despite its NAS. In the following week I have had Glendronach 18 and Glenfarclas 25 and found it to be significantly more refined than the Glendronach (~£80) and up there with the Glenfarclas (~£125 and considered great value), although admittedly I haven’t had them side by side. Ultimately, this is great whisky and it probably isn’t as overpriced as it looks. Would I spend £200 on a bottle? Not in a world where the Glenfarclas 25 exists.”

Description
The Macallan Rare Cask single malt Scotch whisky was introduced to the UK in mid 2015, after being launched in the US in late 2014. It's comprised of whiskies drawn from 16 different Sherry cask styles, chosen by Macallan's Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno. A high proportion of these casks are first fill, and has resulted in a rich, spicy Speyside single malt, bursting with honey'd raisin, root ginger and decadent chocolate notes.
This bottle was part of a private collection and may show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
