Macallan Rare: Last-Minute Red Carpet Style Gift

Steely Dan smoothly croons “Drink Scotch whisky all night long,” in the 1977 hit song “Deacon Blues.” A subtle reminder, just in time for red-carpet style holiday entertaining; enter the ultimate in smooth: Macallan Rare Cask, Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The Macallan is based on a tradition of Six Pillars: Spiritual Home, Curiously Small Stills, Finest Cut, Exceptional Oak Casks, Natural Colour and Peerless Spirit. In fact, Master Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno, hand picks only the rarest sherry barrels to be used with a significantly high proportion of them being first fill. This unique selection crafts something special: splendidly rich with a natural mahogany finish and a resonant hue. Macallan Rare displays deep aromas of vanilla, raisin and chocolate in harmony with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. And the taste delivers pure elegance for the truly selective.

“Macallan Rare is all about luxury,” imparts Toni-Lynn Gross, Marketing Manager, Edrington Americas. “The bottle says ultra-premium; it’s made of heavy weight crystal and is beautifully packaged.” In fact adds Gross: “The whisky is hand chosen from less than 1% of our Spanish sherry seasoned mature oak casks and aged for 24 months. The result is exquisite which embodies a refined richness.”

Nothing says festive like a Red Carpet Drink Gift of Macallan Rare: Best served neat or with a Macallan Ice-Ball, creating a perfect sphere of ice that cuts dilution and enhances the single malt’s simple beauty.
