The Macallan's "The Reach"
In 1940, the Macallan barrelled the whisky in the subject for this article called “The Reach”. Now some 81 years have passed, but to put in perspective of how old this incredible whisky is, it was barrelled in the same year that Winston Churchill was elected as Prime Minister of England! The 81-years old whisky has got notes of “dark chocolate, sweet cinnamon and aromatic peat, leading on to treacle toffee, crystallized ginger and charred pineapple, before giving way to an intensely rich, sweet and smoky finish” according to the Macallan’s master whisky maker Kirsteen Campbell. As you have already guessed, the Macallan’s oldest whisky is extremely limited and comes with a striking price tag. To take a zip of the Macallan’s “The Reach'' will demand a deep reach into your wallet as each of the 288 bottles is priced at $125,000 US..
