INFORMATION

Crabbie 30 Year Old. Bottled 2018. Single cask. One of 330 bottles from a Sherry Butt. 70cl. 48.6%.

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.

The grandest of Speyside’s blue chip distilleries, Macallan was founded in 1824 and carved a reputation for luxury single malt whisky in the 1980s with string of 18-year-old and 25-year-old sherry-matured vintage single malts distilled in the 1960s and 1970s, building on the renown of earlier highly-regarded licensed bottlings by Gordon & MacPhail and Campbell, Hope and King.

In the early 2000s, as the supply and quality of even the best sherry casks declined dramatically, Macallan introduced their Fine Oak series, an initially controversial range of bottlings that included bourbon-matured spirit in the cask recipe. While the Fine Oak series took some time to find its audience, Macallan’s status as the top Speyside distillery - particularly at auction - was already well-established and today a legion of eager Macallan fans ensure that each new luxury bottling from the distillery sells out immediately on release.
