I anledningen af at den engelske Dronning Elizabeth II blev kronet for 60 år siden udgiver Macallan en boks med 2 flasker (350ml) single malt whisky.
Den ene flaske har et billede af den engelske Dronning fra 1953 hvor hun blev kronet i en alder af blot 26 år. Den anden flaske har et billede af den engelske Dronning fra 2004.
"The first whisky, matured in American oak sherry seasoned casks, is a vibrant gold spirit offering a lemon and orange citrus nose. Ginger and summer berries flit in the background showing the exuberance of youth while hinting at a founding level of maturity. Matured in Spanish sherry seasoned oak casks, the second whisky is a splendid mahogany sprit and presents a richly mature, elegant and refined nose. Nutmeg, ginger, rich fruits and resin soften to give a full mouth feel. There is great maturity on the palate, yet no sign of age."
"I felt that the box design should reflect the coronation itself. Bright and celebratory, with Gold, Windsor Red and Blue as used on the Queen's Coat of arms. The idea of the confident red box with gold florettes underlines the respectful presentation. A sort of, must have, rare Royal treasure case.
David Holmes"
Begge flasker er aftappet ved fadstyrke, den første flaske er aftappet ved 58.1% og den anden ved 55.7%
Pris: £350.00
