The Macallan Semiquincentenary Bottling




On the first sunny day since the school holidays began, I took a drive up to the Macallan Distillery today to pick up the limited edition Burns decanter. Pausing only to comment on the "reasonably priced car" outside the shop I was soon the proud owner of the decanter (filled with 12 year old!) and hurried home to have a look. They only made 250 of these (ha ha, I got one) and they're already going on ebay at well over the original asking price! Seems there is something in the Homecoming business after all. Anyone who wants to make me an offer...
