Crabbie (Macallan) 30 Year Old. Bottled 2018. Single cask. One of 330 bottles matured in a Sherry Butt. 70cl. 48.6%. In wooden presentation box.
A very intriguing and unexpected release by Crabbie. This 30 year old is an undisclosed Speyside single cask malt scotch whisky from a Sherry Butt. And although Crabbie couldn't reveal which distillery Crabbie 30 year old is from, it is well know to be a peated style that didn't fit in with the profile Macallan is typically known for.
Undisclosed bottlings are whiskies bottled independently without using the distillery’s name on the label. This can occur when an independent bottler releases a cask of whisky from a distillery that has expressly stipulated as a condition of sale that its name be withheld when those casks are bottled. Macallan, Glenlivet, Glenmorangie, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Glenfarclas and Highland Park are among the most famous, if not necessarily the most frequently-encountered, of the distillers who regularly go unnamed.
Other common reasons for a distillery’s single malt whisky not being named on the label include independent companies simply choosing the flexibility of not naming the source distilleries for their proprietary brands in case they wish to use multiple source distilleries or to change their source distillery at a later date. Bottlings from Undisclosed distilleries are always cheaper than their official distillery counterparts and are generally excellent value in the secondary market.
John Crabbie grew up in his father's Edinburgh grocery before starting his own drinks business in 1832. Crabbie acquired extensive premises in Leith in 1836, and soon afterwards created the company’s most famous product: Crabbie’s Green Ginger Wine, the first records of which go back to 1839. By the 1860s John Crabbie was one of Scotland's major whisky blenders and in 1885 he co-founded the North British grain distillery, serving as its first chairman.
Distillers Company Ltd bought John Crabbie & Co. in 1963, before selling it on to Glenmorangie owners Macdonald and Muir in the 1980s. Halewood International bought the Crabbie brand in 2007 and subsequently introduced the popular Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer as well as bottling some excellent sourced single malts whiskies under the Crabbie name. In 2020, John Crabbie & Co. opened their Bonnington distillery in Leith, not far from the company's 19th century home.
