Macallan

 

When every independent bottler around the world are experimenting with the contents of whisky ForScotchLovers founder Doug Stone takes another route.

This past summer Doug commissioned the artists at Inner Light Crystal to produce a limited edition of exactly twenty-one (21) engraved bottles of Macallan Fine Oak 21 years old whisky. Each bottle is signed by the artists and individually numbered,  and will be accompanied by a pair of CelticMalts Spirits Glasses, engraved with wonderful quotes, and a certificate of authenticity signed by the artists.  

The combination of the engraving on a bottle of incomprably delicious and enjoyable Macallan Fine Oak 21 whisky create an artistic combination that could turn out to be a great investment.

the_macallan_estate.jpg The Edrington Group has launched an environmentally friendly, limited edition extension to its The Macallan Single Malt Scotch brand. It’s called The Macallan Estate.

The Estate Oak, introduced exclusively for global duty free airports, has been rolled out to support ongoing woodland regeneration in Scotland. For each bottle sold, The Macallan will plant an oak tree on The Macallan Estate in Speyside.

The whisky has been matured in both European (ex-oloroso sherry) and American (ex-bourbon) oak. The bottling is without an age statement and comes without a box, to reduce the amount of waste. The labels are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and are sourced from responsibly managed resources.
 
“We anticipate it will be a huge success with people wanting to make a difference to the environment,” said William Ovens, The Edrington Group’s global travel retail area director.

The Macallan Estate Oak is available in world duty free stores and priced at GBP34.99 (US$69.35) per bottle.
