1933 MACLEOD'S 21 YEAR & 25 YEAR
SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY
HIGHLANDS, SCOTLAND
1933 Macleod's is back with two high-age statement gems — their 21 Year and 25 Year single malts — that will remind you of what you loved so much (and snatched up so quickly) when we came to you last year with their coveted 28 Year.
And if that’s not cause enough for excitement, how about this: at $150 for the 21 Year and $200 for the 25 Year, each is priced a few notches below comparable bottles from their top-tier competition.
That’s exactly the kind of two-fer we live to bring you.
These are luxuriantly smooth, in the Highland manner, loaded with sweet spice and nutty complexity from their long, long stints in sherry casks, and boasting the kind of grace notes that only a revered master can bring.
To drill down a bit further …
The 21 Year opens almost blithely, a light, refreshing nose of lemon and vanilla, before building into something more interesting and layered and nuanced, as lime and gentle spice come forward on the palate, followed by notes of ripe, dried fruits. The orange-toned finish lingers like the last notes of an old jazz standard.
The 25 Year is a deeper, weightier expression. On the nose, malty fresh cookies and rich, vanilla custard aromas give way to oak, berries, cinnamon, and chocolate, with a pronounced sherry finish that manages (blessedly) to be elegantly spicy rather than cloying.
In both, what is front and center is the extended maturation in hand-selected Jerez sherry casks that each was given, lengthening and developing the lines of expression.
You notice the craftsmanship here the same way you notice the details in a perfectly tailored suit.
That close attention to the little things comes as absolutely no surprise to us, or to any serious collectors, for whom Ian Macleod is synonymous with the highest, most exacting quality.
Yet somehow this brand has managed to remain under the radar for most casual drinkers, despite being the 10th largest company in the world of Scotch.
Founded in 1933, and family-owned ever since, they've built their reputation not through bold, enterprising marketing, but by doing the hard, grinding work.
You see exactly that sort of guardianship in these expressions, which speak to the company's willingness to invest in expensive sherry casks and unhurried production methods … exactly the kind of long-term thinking that makes for age-statement single malts that actually taste like it.
Don’t pass up your chance to secure two of the best and most distinguished single malts out there right now. But hurry — our allocations are limited.
