Macallan raises the stakes with new launch

Macallan is describing the launch of its new Fine Oak Range as the most significant in the brand’s 80 year history. And it is hoping that
the eight new bottlings will put a line under recent controversy and drive the brand forward.

The whiskies range in age from eight to 30 years old, and contain top quality whisky matured in a mixture of sherry and
bourbon casks.

Early indications are that the new releases will live up to the company hype. Experts who have tasted them are very impressed indeed. For instance, Dave Broom, who tastes the new range in this issue, describes them as “very exciting indeed. There are some very good whiskies here and a couple of crackers. Because the sherry doesn’t dominate you can taste the true distillery characteristics in them.”

The range is tasted by Dave and Gavin Smith in this issue’s new release section on page 60.
