Specially selected from the ancient whisky archives at Duncan Taylor, this incredibly rare whisky was distilled at the renowned Macallan Distillery, in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland. Since 1824 Macallan have been demonstrating the excellence of spirit and cask to craft stunning whiskies which are celebrated around the world. The Decanter Designed to look like a dagger, in honour of the battlefields that surround the Head Office of Duncan Taylor in Huntly, at first this shape of decanter was considered impossible to make. After much hard work a crystal manufacturer in Slovenia was found to take on the challenge of creating it. The result is stunning, a decanter made from ancient materials and as individual as the whisky it contains. The Box Skilled cabinet makers, Fairlie Furniture based on the west coast of Scotland, were commissioned to create a box befitting such a rare whisky. They took the inspiration for the design from the dagger shape of the decanter, and created a box which is more like a chest, that would traditionally hold weapons. Using premium grade European Oak and Italian leather inside, each sumptuous box is hand crafted and as such each one it completely unique, just like the whisky itself.
【Tasting Notes】
Colour: Polished bronze. Nose: Rich, dark chocolate with notes of overripe orange peel shining through. Hints of cinnamon and dusty spices, with a touch of aniseed, sweet wood and creamy vanilla. Palate: Rich, toffee and demerara sugar bound into caramel biscuits. Fruitiness is more subdued and more reminiscent of underripe fruits, perfectly balanced, with a little spice on the front of the tongue. Finish: The maturation in American Oak shows a smoother, softer side to this whisky, created at Macallan Distillery.. A creamy, sweeter more tropical flavoured whisky than the traditional aged sherry casks.
