Tonight is Burns Night - Scotland's annual party for one its most celebrated poet, Robbie Burns. Raise a glass with these scotches that range from classic, through modern, to slightly twisted.
The sophisticated one
Macallan is a Speyside Scotch that is held in high regard internationally – you'll see this whisky being sipped in Bond films and any number of other Hollywood hits. Recently they collaborated with award-winning photographer Steve McCurry to capture the day to day life at their Speyside distillery, all steam and sweat and moody sepia tones. This is a producer that takes itself seriously, and for good reason – Macallan has an almost 200-year history in Scotland, and is one of the top selling scotches in the world.
Macallan has recently expanded their Double Cask range – a range that has been matured in sherry casks made from two types of wood – American and European oak – to make for a sweeter, warmer character, available in 12, 15 and 18-year expressions. So pour yourself a dram. themacallan.com
