Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 40%
The magnificent Macallan 1979 Gran Reserva 18-year-old. This was the first and best release in the legendary Macallan Gran Reserva series and is still regarded as one of the finest heavily-sherried teenage Macallans ever released.
The first edition of Macallan Gran Reserva 18-year-old came from a batch of 1979 casks that were bottled in 1997, presumably after they were judged to be too good for the core range Macallan 18-year-old.
This somewhat cynical decision was to be fully justified by the response. Presented in a chunky, calligraphed wooden box, Macallan 1979 Gran Reserva 18-year-old caused a sensation among whisky fans - despite being priced at a whopping £75, which was nearly double the RRP for the standard Macallan 18-year-old at the time.
A stunning mixture of dark fruit and chocolate with simmering spice, coffee, balsamico and sweet, nutty, earthy complexity, Macallan Gran Reserva 1979 is a simply majestic whisky.

Lightweight, thin on flavour and not much in the way of a finish. Certainly not worth paying the “Distillers Reserve” premium over their standard single malt.
Have not opened it yet - being chased for a review
This shop has been chasing me for a review about this product several times now but I still haven’t opened it yet. I cannot say anything about it. Not everyone buys a whisky and opens it within a few weeks of arrival. Make of this what you want.
