- Today I have something very very special thanks to @MarkLittler
I'm trying a sample of a Macallan 22 year old distilled in the 1920s. A legendary era for Macallan and an incredible once in a lifetime opportunity for me.
Not that there's any similarities between them but I compare this whisky to a modern day Macallan 18.
I hope you enjoy this video and I hope I can give justice to whatever whisky this is.

Very cool! Definitely a unicorn whisky. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Oh absolutely a thoroughbred unicorn! Thanks for watching!
What an excellent story of how this landed in your hands. Super jealous you lucky bastard ahaha
Great to see you enjoying this my friend 🥃
@@McIntyresMalts hahahah yeah I am a lucky one indeed 😃
What an opportunity, Sertug! It was meant to reach your palate. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely Tim! The whisky gods work in mysterious ways 😁
Wow, exciting! It sounds very different to how I would have expected it to taste too, thanks for reviewing this! 🥃 🔥
Thanks for watching Ash. Yeah something I've never tasted before and I'd be hard pressed to call it whisky in a blind.
Nice notes and great story. Mark is a great guy. He send me. Nice sample of Bimber when they released the underground series to review. Glad you got to experience something most people will never see. Cheers
Mark is an absolute mensch! This was a once in a lifetime experience for sure for me, cheers Gert!
Sounds like such a great experience!
Oh it really was 😃
Lucky you to be able to sample a relic from the past. Who knows if it became tainted over time… but still a great experience!
Cheers 🥃
Yeah my knowledge of old whiskies are not great for me to find any discrepancy but if Mark and Angus put their seals of approval I'm happy to taste something so unique. Thanks John!
Wow how lucky to be able to taste and experience!! Not usually a huge Maccallan fan either! 🙂
Something unique and once in a life time thing for me for sure. Cheers Christine
@@thewhiskyenthusiast Absolutely!! 🙂
Very cool to be able to sample something distilled so long ago. Before this what is the "oldest", in terms of its distillation date, that you think you have tried? Cheers!
Thank you yeah an absolute delight and an incredible experience. I have a bottle of Ballantine's 17 from the 1960s so depending on which end of the decade it might've been distilled between 1943 and 1952. How about you?
Great opportunity for you to try a Pre-World War II whisky...!!! (ahem, 22 yo, not 100 yo obviously...). Angels did do you a favor this time (what a story !)...In my experience, those very old school ones are very fragile & delicate to apprehend (first off I would have suggested to let it breathe half an hour before nosing, if not more, then very slowly nosing it, tasting it, etc...but it's too late, just saying..). I'm not surprised by its herbal side, lots of Speysiders & Highlanders even distilled before i was born were challenging, unusual, not always pleasant & not belonging to nowadays standards, let alone what we know of The Macallan style (...). I hope you'll have other occasions to try very old whiskies (I mean distilled quite back in time, but also maybe some of those Gordon & MacPhail 70 to 81 yo like some youtubers had the opportunity to try & review on video..). Anyway, well done, Sertug, on the tasting notes, btw ! 👏🥃
Greg thank you and ahem yes of course 22 but I couldn't resist the marketing aspect, mea culpa 😅
Thanks for the suggestion and yes I did think to let it breathe but I thought the bottle itself breathed in transit and also when Mark was bottling them. I did leave the remainder to try as the day went but not much has changed to be honest.
You're right on the fragile side but good knowledge on the herbal issue thank you. I once came across a cocktail book for NYC bars written in the 1930s and it mentions 'the malt whisky Scots of Highlands drink are nothing like the smooth and tasty whiskies (he means the blends) we have in USA. They're bitter, harsh and very unpleasant' Shows you a little glimpse into the past and also how things have changed.
Thanks for your input Greg, always appreciate it
How do u know its legit and not filled with 18yr or something similar ?
Because I trust Mark and his expertise. He's a very reputable whisky dealer and he does his due diligence to the T. Also because this tastes nothing like an 18 year old whisky that I know of or can identify.
