2018 The Macallan Concept Number 1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.

According to Macallan, Concept 1 ”celebrates the world’s visionaries by daring to disrupt the whisky making process.” With packaging inspired by surreal art, the whisky employs “innovative production techniques”: it's first matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks and then for an equal time in ex-bourbon casks, so essentially, the traditional order of maturation has been reversed. It's another first in a series otherwise exclusive to Travel Retail that's received generally warm reviews on the blogosphere. Expect "sweet orange and lemon citrus with soft oak spices, fresh fruit and ginger aromas and flavours with a finish that's medium sweet with lingering oak, citrus fruit and ginger." 40% Alc./Vol.
