The Macallan Reveals Exceptional Single Cask 50

Do you have $55,000 under your mattress or lying around the house somewhere? Then perhaps, if you are lucky, you can purchase a bottle of The Macallan Exceptional Single Cask 1950 single malt whisky.

The Macallan Exceptional Single Cask 50 was aged in a first-fill sherry butt cask, bottled at 53.4% alcohol by volume [106.8 proof] and is said to contain notes of ginger, peaches, vanilla and “polished antique oak” [we are not kidding on that one – that is what they say].

Only 336 bottles of The Macallan Exceptional Single Cask are being made available in the UK for the paltry sum of $54,200 per bottle.
