What region is Macallan 10 Year Old Bottled 1970s Gordon & Macphail from?
This expression is from the Speyside whisky region.
The declared age on a whisky label refers to the number of years the youngest whisky in the bottle spent maturing in oak casks. In the case of this Scotch Whisky from The Macallan that is 10 years. The bottling strength of this whisky is 40% which is at the lower end of the scale for whiskies. Although these days many consumers are pushing for producers to bottle closer to 43% or 46% there are still some fine lower strength whiskies.
