The Macallan
Exceptional Cask 2017/ESB-11650/02
(0.75l,
65.2%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
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.

90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
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.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
