How much is that per shot?

I love Scotch and, in the few times I've been exposed to it, have a short-lived love affair with Laphroaig, that elixir of Islay. However, I'm not sure I could scrape up enough scratch to take advantage of this offer.

However, I'd love to taste it, if anyone wants to, um, send a shot my way. I only hope my novice palate would appreciate it...


The Macallan Introduces Fine & Rare Vintage 1947 for the Holidays

Rested in Spanish Oak casks for 15 years, The Macallan Fine & Rare 1947 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is now available for the first time in highly-limited quantities. This 15 year old whisky was purchased by The Macallan from a noted single malt collector, which allows the expression to take its rightful place in the Fine & Rare collection.

With only five available bottles in the United States, this newest addition to The Macallan Fine & Rare collection is a coveted item for any Scotch aficionado’s personal collection.

The Macallan Fine & Rare 1947 is unique not only for its rarity but also for its attributes:

Color: Natural rich beech color drawing from sherry casks, including second fill.

Nose: Peat balanced by citrus fruit, chocolate orange with vanilla, and oak notes in the background.

Palate: Light fruits, bitter chocolate and wood spice, with a touch of peat.

Finish: Lingering fruits and peat smoke.

HERE'S THE KICKER:

Price: Available upon request. Bottles in The Macallan Fine & Rare collection range between $1,000 and $60,000.

This exceptional single malt scotch is an investment in holiday celebrations to come.
