The Macallan single malt whiskey distillery was officially founded in 1824, but farmers had been making whiskey in the area for centuries. The Macallan is one of the world’s top selling brands of Scotch whisky, usually ranked within the top 3 global whiskeys in terms of sales and has been referred to as “the Rolls Royce of single malts.” #MACALLAN2 is a bottle of 40 Year Old Macallan Single Malt Scotch. Left undisturbed in sherry seasoned oak casks for four decades, #MACALLAN2 is one of 500 bottles released in 2016.
“The 40-year-old is a dark, autumnal russet in color, with rich flavors of dried fruit, ginger, chocolate, cinnamon, and gentle wood smoke—all amplified by decades of slumber in European oak sherry casks.”
— Robb Report

#MACALLAN2 Details
The Macallan was founded in 1824 in Scotland as one of the country’s first legally licensed distillers. Known for having especially small stills, Macallan is one of Scotland’s top three producers of single malt whisky and is renowned throughout the world for their high-quality scotch. While most whisky is dyed, Macallan is one of the few whiskey producers that doesn’t use caramel coloring. According to the Macallan website, the Sherry Oak 40 Years Old 2016 Release exhibits an “Autumn Russet” color, a smoky scent accented with ginger, sherry, citrus, cinnamon, chocolate, and wood smoke. It is explained by Macallan to be “wonderfully smooth” on the palate with a “long, rich and warming” finish.
