I picked up this lovely dram at the duty free in Toronto a couple of months ago, but did not crack it open until earlier this week (a holiday treat!).
This is a duty free exclusive and the focus is as much on the packaging as the content. At C$90 is is a pricey indulgence, but worthwhile for the someone who enjoys the history of Whisky.
The physical bottle recreates the type of bottle used for Macallan during the mid-nineteenth century. It has a slightly rough feel and shows irregular bubbles and marks throughout the strata of the glass. It is sealed with wax and has a cork closure. Overall a really nice bottle to have and hold.
The Whisky inside is a mild and fruity Macallan, nothing spectacular but very drinkable. It does not have much oil or peat flavor, making it an easy dram for the novice as well as the experienced drinker.
You can find Macallan's own tasting notes on their site.
Available in duty free shops or at The Whisky Exchange.
