1990 Adelphi The Macallan 18 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

A very old Macallan distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2008, reportedly from a refill Sherry hogshead. This is an 'archived' release, limited to only 64 bottles and is all the more unusual for being cask strength and non-chill filtered.

Purists should note - Macallan built its reputation during the early 1980s and ‘90s in large part by emphasising hard line traditional practises - 100% Sherry maturation and a predominant use of a special variety of barley called “Golden Promise”, now rarely used, but traditionally highly prized for its rich, nutty flavour. If Macallan last used its original ratio of Golden Promise barley in 1993, then this will be near the last made from the same. The taste of ‘true’ Macallan may not be had for much longer at any price! 52.8% Alc./Vol.
