Macallan Fifties 1950s Travel Range Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 40.0% Vol. - rare old bottling from the Macallan Travel Range Limited Edition of a great Macallan Highaldn Single Malt!
With the Macallan Fifties 1950s Travel Range Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Macallan imitated the style of its whiskies from the 1950s and sold exclusive limited editions on the worldwide travel retail market in 1999-2001. The special and collectable travel range series of four Macallan single malt Scotch whiskies, recreated by Macallan Master Distiller David Robertson, are designed to reflect The Macallan s style from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s and the distinctive packaging features a classic example of the travel style of the time from each era.
To recreate the taste of the Macallan as it was in the 1950 s, sample bottles from that decade were opened and their aroma and flavour matched with more recent distillations. During the 1950 s, Spanish oak Sherry casks became available again following the disruption of World War II, allowing the Macallan to revert to using only first and second fill casks. This resulted in a whisky that was as rich and spicy as modern day Macallan, but with a hint of peat smoke. Jim Murray scored the Macallan Fifties bottling 92 points in his Whisky Bible and the range was rated by Michael Jackson, the renowned international whisky writer, in the Malt Whisky Companion as being Amongst the highest of any malts.
The very limited and unique deep mahogany-coloured Macallan Fifties 1950s Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the year 2001 shows the classic characteristics of the Macallan from the 1950s in a wonderful way and makes it one of the outstanding and today particularly sought-after bottlings of the limited Macallan Travel Range series.
