Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 43%

A 1950 Macallan bottle as a 58-year-old from a pair of sherry casks by Gordon & MacPhail under their Speymalt label. This is an astonishing whisky and, as of 2022, it’s still the last 1950 vintage Macallan that G&M have bottled.

This Speymalt Macallan 1950 is one of these ancient Speysiders that somehow seems to combine everything that is magical about these old drams.

More so, The palate shows exuberant, intense fruitiness with 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. A true masterpiece.

This rare independent release offers an alternative method of owning a 1950’s vintage from Macallan.  Especially more appealing what with distillery bottling‘s of similar era’s skyrocketing and becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

Nevertheless, Supplied in perfect condition, with a fill level well into the neck, complete with stunning dark wood presentation case and COA with tasting notes.
