Any bottle of The Macallan in your home bar is a good idea, but treating yourself to one of their rare releases? Priceless.

This expression is an absolute jewel. Let's decipher the name first: 2017/ESB-11650/02. It means it was bottled in 2017 (a 2004 vintage), and it was matured in a European Oak Sherry Butt No. 11650, cherry-picked by Bob Dalgarno himself.

The nose introduces you to a rich, honeyed almond character that translates beautifully into the palate (plus notes of ginger & oak). The finish is spicy, sweet, and nutty. Pure luxury, friends.

Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
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.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
