This sister cask to last years exceptionally well liked DRU 17/A197 #5. It’s definitely from that special estate called Easter Elchies but they cannot put the name on the label. I’m happy to tell you that it was distilled at Macallan and filled into refill sherry puncheon in 2009. The resulting whisky is quite unlike modern Macallan with the rich maltiness and framed by the influence of the large oloroso sherry puncheon nicely, but not covering it completely. It is not, like so many IB Macallans, completely naked and these puncheons have a nice honeyed color and a impressive high proof. Even without the name on the label this is a screaming deal for high quality highland malt at 15 years, but taken in the broader context of how well loved and collectible any Macallan still is to this day, it’s really quite a stunning exception to the current market trends, which still see malts of the caliber increasing in price continually. This barrel of was filled on February 23rd or 2009 and bottled on August 23rd of 2024. Bottled without color or chillfiltration or additions of any kind at a natural cask strength of 64.3% alc by vol.
