The Macallan No. 6 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the "Big 3" single malts in Scotland the other two are Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. Fortunately, The Macallan has achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their "Speyside" designation. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the "official" boundaries doesnt mean whiskey-lovers have to pay any attention. The Macallan single malts are famous for their classic Speyside style and the heavily sherried influence of their core rage.The Macallan has been creating single malt whisky for so long at such a high volume and such a high level that they have what sports teams call a very "deep bench." Their incredible inventory of rare, aging single malt gives them the ability to pinpoint flavors and special editions for the refined whisky palate that satisfy a huge, global following. Their achievements are numerous, including setting the record price ever paid at auction for a single bottle of scotch at auction.At the higher end of the Macallan line is the Masters Decanter Series, of which there are four The Macallan Reflexion, The Macallan no.6, The Macallan M, and The Macallan M Black. Each is special in craftsmanship and in the unique, artistic decanters crafted of fine French crystal by the famous House of Lalique.The Macallan No. 6 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky takes its name from the six pillars of The Macallans heritage, which include the Easter Elchies House (an 18th century manor that remains the "Spiritual Home" of The Macallan) and the distillerys "Curiously Small Stills." Deep mahogany in color, The Macallan No. 6 is housed in an angular Lalique crystal decanter, successfully uniting two of The Macallans "masters" whisky and crystal in one spectacular project.The Macallan No. 6 has an intense, fruity aroma, with notes of raisins, figs and dates. The palate is filled with rich oak, as well as early notes such as leather and tobacco. The finish is at once subtle and astounding, with a dry, nutty character accented by toffee and cream."The stunning designs and overall imprint of this new collection are not only worthy of some of our most complex and precious single malt whiskies, they celebrate the very foundations that make The Macallan so special our glorious range of natural colour and the outstanding quality of our casks," says Ken Grier, director at the Edington Group which owns The Macallan.Pick up this stunning whisky today!
