The Macallan 28 Year Old 1978 Vintage
(0.7l,
52%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
You love Scotch. You love Bourbon. A never shall the twixt meet…
Nah. Macallan says eff that. This unique bottling from Hunger & Laings Old and Rare line was distilled in 1978 and bottled at 52% ABV in 2007 after being finished in Bourbon casks. Best of both worlds, this.
This is bottle 199 of 219 produced. A gloriously rare bird.

Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.

Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Macallan is a popular choice among the younger Whisky drinking crowd and they do a lot of marketing activities to keep in touch with them. In 2016, they created a Facebook chatbot that answered questions about the brand and its Whiskies.
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
The Macallan Speyside estate is the only distillery ground in Scotland where you can fish for atlantic salmon. It sits right on the River Spey and from February to September is the perfect location for some salmon fishing.
It's unknown where the Macallan name comes from, but there are a few possibilities circling around. The most popular one is that it comes from two words in the Gallic language. “Magh” which refers to a fertile piece of ground and “Eilean” which curiously enough means, “of Saint Fillans.” Over time “Magh Eilean” became Anglicised as Macallan.
