Inte för min del. Den kostar i runda tal 1100:- / cl
Kan någon whisky var värd de pengarna ? Jag tvivlar.

Macallan 1949
Så här säger Macallan om innehållet:
Bob Dalgarno, The Macallan?s master of spirit, explains why The Macallan 55-years-old is so special: ?The malt contained in the decanter is cask strength (40.1 per cent abv), which has remained undisturbed for over half a century at Easter Elchies House. It was produced from a combination of 3 casks; 2 sherry hogshead from 1945 and a sherry butt from 1949. The liquid was decanted into glass in 2004 as we didn?t want to over-age the whisky and have too much wood flavour coming through.
"We recognised that it was a very special whisky and wanted to use it for something unique. As the 1945 cask was a peated malt (typical of Speyside malts at the time that used peat due to post war shortages of other fuels), we married it with the 1949 cask to allow more of the sherry notes to come through from the larger 1949 butt. Dark rosewood in colour, the liquid has aromatic notes of exotic, sweet dried fruits with a hint of peat-smoke, the finish is wonderfully soft, smooth and spicy with lingering touches of citrus.
"There are very few distilleries that have the same age profile of stock as The Macallan so we are privileged to have the opportunity to produce magnificent whiskies such as The Macallan in Lalique 55-years-old."
