Macallan has certainly kept itself busy this year.
Not only has the whisky brand just opened a spanking new distillery, but the Scottish company has also just revealed a new limited edition single-malt whisky that will have any serious whisky collector salivating.
Meet The Macallan 72 Years Old in Lalique, the oldest single malt the brand has ever bottled.
Distilled in the 1940s, just after second world war, this single malt has been aged in Macallan’s oak casks for 72 years. Only 600 bottles are available.
For its 72 years of maturation, the deceptively light colour hints that this is not an ordinary single malt ... although delicate throughout all aspects, it provides an intense experience
The golden amber-coloured liquid offers flavours of peat, lemon and green apple, which are noticeable both on the nose and on the palate. Hints of vanilla, raisin and ginger can also be detected.
The delicate notes are complemented with gentle peat smoke and oak smoke that adds depth to the drink.
