Macallan Special Reserve 2nd Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl, 46% ABV

Macallan Special Reserve 2nd Edition bottled in the 1990s. It perfectly retains the celebrated 46% ABV strength—a deliberate step up from the distillery's standard proofing at the time—delivering the same iconic, rich profile of deep ex-sherry oak, dark chocolate, stewed fruits, and festive spices.
