Macallan Glenlivet 1937 Sherry Cask Bottled 1960s Gordon & Macphail

Picked up a bottle of this for $43.99 at Aggie Liquor in Fort Collins. Dull golden appearance. Toasted oak, vanilla frosting, honey, butterscotch nose.

And now Macallan launches a new series. You’ve guessed it: many bottle flippers hurried to get these and offer them up via auction. It worked. For a few weeks at least....
