<p>The Macallan classic Single Malt aged in four different cask types for a lighter, fruit-forward profile.</p><p>Founded in <em>1824</em>, The Macallan is one of the <em>“Big 3”</em> Single Malts in Scotland. Fortunately, they have achieved this scale <em>without sacrificing quality</em>. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their “Speyside” designation. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the “official” boundaries doesn’t mean Whisky-lovers<em> </em>have to pay any attention.</p><p>Their achievements are <em>numerous</em> — including setting the <em>record price</em> ever paid at auction for a single bottle of Scotch. They produce a very broad range of world-class Single Malt Whiskies that have a <em>huge global following</em>.</p><p>When you reach the <em>pinnacle of Single Malt expressions</em> like The Macallan has, you are liberated to explore dozens of <em>special releases</em> and Single Malt experiments. <em>The Quest Collection</em> is all about special combinations of casks — a quest for wood. There are four different Single Malts in the collection.</p><p><em>The Macallan Quest</em> is the dram that launched the range. The classic Single Malt in aged in four different cask types — ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry made from American and European oak, and refill Sherry hogsheads. It has a lighter, almost citrus profile.
