ABV: 43%
An incredibly rare Macallan from the calligraphy label vintage series, distilled in 1938 and roughly 45 years old. Reportedly one of the all-time great bottlings. Serge at Whiskyfun.com who has tasted more than his fair share of old Macallans was in raptures scoring this a whopping 96 points! Comes with original timber crate. Note: Some minor label damage. Fill level into shoulder.

Other reviews... Colour: gold / amber. Nose: oh well... this is, I mean, just amazing. Incredible smokiness and a full tanker of acacia honey as well as lilac, beeswax and leather polish. Goes on and on... ripe apricots, flower nectar, Seville oranges, orange syrup, whiffs of seawater... Absolutely exceptional. Gets smokier with time (Havana smoke). Hints of apple peelings. This nose just leaves me speechless (who said good news?) Mouth: amazingly lively, nervous, fruity... Apricot jam, ripe plums, chestnut honey, toasted brioche, high-grade pepper... Totally fantabulous. I’m afraid the rest will be censored by our anti-maltoporn police department. 43% Alc./Vol. 96 points – www.whiskyfun.com
