Sounds incredible! I have a Signatory Macallan preordered from K&L coming next month. 18 years Cask strength for 250. Still not cheap but about as good as you can get for well aged craft Macallan these days, barring the new 100 proof series release which is, while not old, still incredible value. However those don't get released in the States. Looking forward for that bottle to come in. Cheers!
Hey Brian, great review! When I went to a 10am tasting at G&M in Elgin, the 2024 version is the one they greeted us to start our tasting. As 'breakfast whiskies' go this was incredible. The Speymalt series showcase what Macallan is actually capable of, which is gorgeous delicious whisky, in turn make us get even more angry with Macallan for not giving us this! Have you tried the 9 year old 43%abv one? For me that was a bit meh.
I have not tried the 9 year old. I am happy that there are examples of these distilleries out there that are worth drinking. I think it encourages me to not lose hope that we can get fair whisky from them one day if they are still making good spirit.
Just picked up a 19yo version from Norfolk W&S on the east coast
Great channel. Keep it going
Thanks for the review! There is a bottle of this in a local grocery store where I’m at. Sounds interesting, but probably not something I’ll pickup.

Thanks for the review! Local store is getting a 19 yr Speymalt. $400ish. I’ll be content with just trying 😊
