Macallan 29 Year Old - Batch 6 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
The Macallan
Tasting Notes
This Macallan 29 Year Old, batch 26 from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, represents a rare independent bottling exclusively created for Master of Malt, yielding just 95 precious bottles. This extraordinary expression unfolds with a sophisticated nose where buttered crumpets and gingerbread meet apple brandy and delicate floral notes, while hints of mead, caramelized dates, vanilla, and sandalwood add remarkable depth. The palate presents a luxurious combination of honey-drizzled sponge cake and autumnal fruits, balanced by mature oak and dry white wine notes, while custard cream biscuits, cigar box, and crumbly fudge provide rich complexity. The journey concludes with an intricate finish featuring Sesame Snaps and hickory, accompanied by honeycomb and tobacco, while milk chocolate and Seville orange bring everything to a harmonious close. The bottle's whimsical label, featuring the distillery's famously small stills and a perspective-challenging giant (or perhaps normal-sized) observer, adds a playful touch to this seriously impressive dram.
