@jasongillis1336Ай бұрын
On my third bottle, I plan on keeping it on hand as long as it's available. $36 - $44 USD, and it's an absolute sherry bomb. I taste Macallan Sherry Cask in there for sure, but it's more interesting because of the blended malt. Is there Highland Park in this as well? I wouldn't be surprised, as well as some Glenrothes. Im guessing the casks selected for this blended malt were not quite up to par for the core range of Macallan and others in the Edrington collection, but that's just a personal theory. Age unknown. Exquisite when blended at home with a smokey Islay and a little bit of Speyside or Highland.🎉
@shortpoursАй бұрын
Love everything about your assessment! I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s Highland Park in here either. I think this bottle will be selling for more in no time. I might pickup a few bottles!

@shortpours2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the concern! Definitely not clickbait (on purpose). If you watch the video again you’ll notice the bottle shots around 0:42 and 1:15 - they both say zero sugar at the bottom of of the front label, not the top of the bottle as they do in the thumbnail. As well, I show the rear nutrition labels which show zero sugar. I also say it’s sweetened with sucralose. It is different packaging (Canadian vs US I believe), but same product. Point well taken though, I’ll see if I can find an identical image for a thumbnail instead of just taking their most recent image from their website, like I did.
