Limited Whisky in collab with Macallan Managing Director




The Exceptional Grain Scotch Whisky....$75.99

A significant small batch Scotch Whisky created by Don Sutcliffe, managing director of Craft Distillers and 35-year veteran of distilled spirits marketing, in collaboration with Willie Phillips, for 23 years managing director of The Macallan.

The inaugural release, autumn 2013, was The Exceptional Grain, a blend of very special aged Scotch grain whiskies, selected from several different distilleries, each barrel chosen for its distinctive & memorable characteristics. While others blend to produce year-in, year-out consistency, each edition of The Exceptional Grain will offer a Whisky that is authentically individual, possessed of its own qualitative and stylistic distinction.

The Exception Malt will be released in the fall of 2014; the Exceptional Blend in 2015.


THE EXCEPTIONAL GRAIN
A blend of remarkable aged grain whiskies, including a barrel of 30-year-old from the Carsebridge Distillery, long since closed. Blended by Willie Phillips, formerly of The Macallan; finished in first-fill sherry casks. Subtle, elegant, authentically individual, with great structure. (750ML/43%abv)
