Over on my blog, The Whiskey Tapes, we are in the midst of 25 Days of Whiskey. Yesterday was day 6 and featured The MacAllan Scotch.

Sundays are for Scotch. The MacAllan 12 was my gateway Scotch, so today for Day 6 of 25 Days of Whiskey, I am dedicating the Whiskey Roundup to the storied House of MacAllan.

I had never heard of MacAllan Week until today. That’s a pretty cool idea if you ask me. When it comes to offerings and variety, The MacAllan has a lot to offer.

Just a little reminder that #macallanweek is coming up soon!

The MacAllan also offers a variety of rare bottles, some as much as 50 years old. I doubt I’ll see any of these in my lifetime, but it’s nice to see what’s out there.

When I was first introduced to The MacAllan, it was it at Richard’s Liquors in Kingwood, TX. I was looking for a Christmas gift for my newly minted step dad. I worked at the Starbucks next store to Richard’s and had become friendly with a few of the people who worked there. I was told that The MacAllan was the barometer by which all other Scotches are compared. That was enough for me.

Recognized and admired by the entire sophisticated world of connoisseurs, Macallan remains the expression of single malts that can be judged before all; this unparalleled reputation has been built by the masters of wood.

This is incredibly cool. Scotch being a traditionally Scottish liquor, enjoyed the world over, I like to see a special variety made just for Londoners.
