The Macallan Speymalt Single Malt Scotch Whisky 42 Year Old · 1974 Vintage
In stock
To describe this Gordon & Macphail bottle of 42 year old Macallan as a bargain might be hard to take for some, but when you consider the official release of Macallan 40 year old last year started out at £5000 and will soon increase in price to many times that, then you start to see what i mean by using the word bargain?
You can almost smell the splinters in the sherry wood here! a dark and meaty Macallan for those that like a more mature Sherry cask bomb without over the top abv but all the flavour.There is a real antique furniture shop feel to this.
