One of us is fortunate enough to have co-workers that appreciate the work they do. In fact, he is so highly appreciated that he occasionally gets bottles of pricey whisky as a thank you for his efforts.

The other of us may not get gifts from co-workers, but he does occasionally get invited to sample the spoils of the fortunate one. This time around, the sampling occurred at his very own Murder Table. Everyone shoud have a Murder Table. Seriously.

The gifted whisky for this Murder Table sampling is from Speyside’s very own The Macallan. It’s the 2023 Release of their Rare Cask bottling. Here’s a bit more information about this whisky:

Our latest release, The Macallan Rare Cask, 2023 Release, boasts a collaboration with renowned musician, Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds. Embarking on an exquisite journey, we explored the intricacies of the sensory world, discovering the striking parallels between sound, aroma, flavour, and colour, all intertwined through the shared element of wood.

Charlie’s remarkable talent in identifying rare tasting notes, such as raisin, resonates beautifully with his ability to compose and play music. The art of creating exceptional single malts and music share a common language, where each note and flavour combine in perfect harmony, complementing one another in a remarkable way.

Together, we discover the core synergies of a great creation, and how interactions with a work of art in both realms of music and the craft of whisky making aren’t so distant from one another.

We mentioned that this whisky is pricey. $379.99! Per The Macallan website, that’s what a bottle will run you if you happen to live near us. To find out if this whisky is worth the price tag, click play on the above video.
