The Macallan
Scotland
Single Malt
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 - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
This a joke. NAS at over $200 from a distiller that up until a few years ago prided itself on value and quality of its age-statement scotch. WAKE UP people!! Macallan is running out of good stock because they are over bought. So they try to sell us this NAS swill and stamp their name on it hoping that their logo will carry them though. Even Glendronach 12 is a better value than this at a fraction of the cost and its non-chillfiltered.
I bought a bottle of the estate reserve at Munich airport whilst between flights and really enjoyed its intensity and flavour. Having read the reviews, I decided to try the rare cask and find that even more to my liking. Both are incredible if rather expensive bottles and I plan to carry on drinking these exceptional whiskies whenever I have the opportunity!
I had a person knowledgeable in Scotch highly recommend the Rare Cask. I tried it, and thought that it was very light bodied, with an acceptable aromas. The flavor had some sherry flavor but it was very weak for my taste. To my taste this is very different from the string sherry taste most commonly associated with the old classic Macallan taste. Obviously I would not recommend this due to the cost.
Despite typically basing a rating on value (dollar-to-flavor) I'll make an exception here. I didn't buy this, but was offered a dram by a generous host who opened the bottle for me. I am into single malts and I've had Macallan Gold prior to this (another NAS, but not as overpriced). While I found this to be very enjoyable, I didn't think it was $200+ better, actually about the same. I didn't take the stars away for the price and I am not jealous. I could afford a bottle, but I choose not to - I'd rather buy a number of malts to try for the same money. I am not in the habit of comparing single malts in terms "better/worse". Aberlour is not better or worse than Macallan, just different. And just as delectable. So are Arran, Craigellachie, Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or, Highland Park, etc. Realize that most people reviewing this will be those with more money than taste, people who are into labels and "prestige" (whatever that means). Macallan IS overpriced, while it remains quality and delicious whisky.
Opened this bottle with my 2 sons and we loved it! Would highly recommend!!! I seen a couple one stars based on price because they can't afford it..lol..buy a bottle and make some people jealous ?
