0099. MACALLAN EXCEPTIONAL NO.09 2005 (12 YEARS)
MACALLAN 2005-2017 EXCEPTIONAL SINGLE CASK NO. 9
The Macallan Exceptional Casks were bottled in 2017. This is taken from Cask No. 9 which was a distillery offering only, and one of only 468 bottles and has a whopping ABV of 66.1%.
Distilled on the 30th March 2005 and bottled over 12 years later after maturing in single European oak sherry butt #5234 (Ref: 2017/ESB-5234/09).
Selected by Master Distiller Bob Dalgarno, this was the ninth cask to be reserved for the 2017 series on 24th July of the same year.
The Exceptional Cask range of Macallan is a bit of an exception to the rule: While most of its whiskies are careful batches of multiple casks, Exceptional Cask is its answer to the single barrel—an incredible whisky from one oak vessel and one vessel only. This range has long been a boon to people searching for interesting bottles of Macallan; its releases have in the past been diverse in age and price point.
