Macallan Forties 1940s Travel Range Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 40.0% Vol. - Rare old bottling from the Travel Range Limited Edition Series of a wonderful Macallan Highland Single Malt!
With the Macallan Forties 1940s Travel Range Limited Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Macallan imitated the style of its whiskies from the 1940s and sold exclusive limited editions on the worldwide travel retail market in 1999-2001. The special and high 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 1940 s, sample bottles from that decade were opened and their aroma and flavour matched with more recent distillations. During the 1940 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.
The light-amber coloured Macallan Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky shows the classic characteristics of the Macallan from the 1940s in a wonderful way and makes it one of the outstanding and today particularly sought-after bottlings of the limited Macallan Travel Range series.
