The Macallan, Single Highland MaltThe Macallan er en anden af de højest vurderede Malts i verden. Dette skotske "Whisky slot" ligger i Speyside, og derfor har "The Los Angeles Times" kaldt den for "The Château Margaux of Single Malts". The Macallan lagres udelukkende på sherryfade. Dette giver en unik aroma og fyldige honning og sherry noter i smagen. Findes i 12 års, 18 års og som 25 års. Visse steder finder man også vintage / årgangs whiskies. |

Danish joke with Macallan.
Der var engang ovre i Skotland, at Mr. McAlan tog sin hel del yngre ven McAlder med ned på sin favoritpub, hvor han var en meget trofast tilbeder af den rødhårede tjenerpige, der stod bag disken.
Mens McAlan var midt i sin whisky, blev han nødt til at træde af på naturens vegne.
Den rødhårede skønhed, der ikke havde noget imod en flirt, smilede forførende til McAlder og kaglede:
– Nu har du chancen!
– Jeg ser det, sagde McAlder straks – og i et drag tømte han McAlan's whisky.
