Mmmm... scotchity-scotch-scotch. Which Macallan to choose from? Image from http://www.themacallan.com.
Want to know what a coming-of-age event is for a man?
When he figures out the difference between a single malt scotch and a blended scotch.
It is roughly at that same point he is introduced to The Macallan portfolio of scotch whiskey.
From the Sherry Oak to The Macallan in Lalique, every single Macallan variety is added to the top of any man’s wish list who learns to appreciate the better things in life.
Don’t know the difference between a single malt and a blended scotch? No worries – the folks from Macallan were kind enough to give a short tutorial on their website:
‘Scotch Whisky’
In order to be classed as a ‘Scotch’ Whisky, the spirit, made from a mash of cereals, must have been matured in an oak cask in Scotland for a minimum of three years. It must also be bottled at a minimum strength of 40% alcohol by volume.Blended Scotch Whisky
‘Blended’ Scotch Whisky is Scotch Whisky distilled at more than one distillery from a combination of malted barley and other cereals.Blended ‘Malt’ Scotch Whisky
Blended ‘Malt’ Scotch Whisky is Scotch Whisky distilled at more than one distillery entirely from malted barley.‘Single’ Malt Scotch Whisky
‘Single’ Malt Scotch Whisky is Scotch Whisky distilled at a single distillery entirely from malted barley.
The Macallan? Single malt scotch whisky goodness all the way, yo.
Pair a glass of Macallan with a good cigar, a nice suit and some great friends – you can then bask in your own glory (and awesomeness).
Personally, I like mine on the rocks. 10 Years will do.
