Description
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 43%
A 1950 Macallan 55-year-old single cask bottled in 2006 by Gordon & MacPhail under their Speymalt label after five and a half decades of ageing in sherry casks. An astonishing whisky at only a fraction of the price of an official offering of similar age.
This 55-year-old Macallan 1950 from G&M is one of these ancient Speysiders that somehow seems to combine everything that is magical about these old drams: exuberant and intense fruitiness of all kinds, a myriad of different spices, sweetness and dryness in turns, touches of ancient peat smoke and all kinds of medical complexities, rancio, natural tar, smoke, numerous herbal notes, liqueurs, citrus oils, gamey notes and an immensely long finish that would suggest a whisky way above 43%.
A true but humble masterpiece and a once in a lifetime drinking opportunity. How many more of these bottlings can G&M possibly produce?
