Today’s episode of Our Pour Decisions is all about the Macallan, an ultra luxury spirits maker. As you might have guessed from our previous video on Pappy Van Winkle, Whiskey isn’t really B’s thing. But Pop’s loves single malts and couldn’t wait to learn more from our friend Mark, who has worked in the spirits industry for over 30 years. Join us this episode to learn more about the meteoric rise of Macallan and it’s dominant position of one of the most collectible whisky’s in the world. Today we are tasting the 12, 18, 25, and 30 year old sherry cask Macallan- plus we are throwing in a surprise bottle to serve as a “reference” point. Will Mark be able to guess which bottle it is? And if you haven’t had a bottle of corked Macallan- wait until you hear Pop’s story.
