Macallan – 18 Year Old 1994 (70cl, 43%)

Macallan – 18 Year Old 1994 is a whisky from Macallan (Speyside). Aged 18 years, bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl. The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow ‘cut’ of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors. A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports. 18 Year Old: The first Macallan to bear the 18-Year-Old age statement was a 1965 vintage, released in 1984, and it has formed an integral part of the distillery’s core range ever since. The only real change to the formula came in 1998, when the vintage was dropped in favour of declared release years. However, what’s inside the bottle remains, pretty much, the same juice. While other age statements have come and gone, the 18 remains at the heart of the line-up, and is the absolute epitome of Macallan-y-ness.
