Rare that I venture out on a work night. Usually when I do, it's worth it. This was no exception. I RSVP'd a month in advance to savor the Macallan... and the Macallan experience.
 |
| They had a beautiful set up. Check out the entrance to the interactive room. |
 |
| While I was waiting for my glass, I took a minute to admire the artwork of the floor. |
 |
| From ill color blocks.. to an aerial view of the entire city. CRAZY. |
 |
| What I didn't know was.. my first drink would be the 10year old Macallan. My chest wasn't prepared ... AT ALL. I finished it though. And yes... it was straight. ;-) |
 |
| A different Macallan was in each glass. You had to smell and then guess which one was which on the iPad. |
 |
| Behind the Scenes |
 |
| Main event. |
 |
| This guy was an EXCELLENT... SUPERB presenter. He had everyone's attention captured. |
 |
| First sample they passed out. 10year first. Since I had it earlier, I was a little more prepared. |
 |
| 12 year. I was not a fan of this one. It had a spicy kick to it. but I finished it all. |
 |
| I tried to get a video, but was interrupted to assist someone at my table.. which I didn't mind. This is the photo of the exclusive Macallan ice maker... that makes an ice sphere.. perfecto! |
 |
| 15 year was passed around. Now this was my favorite. ROUGH.. but it was super smooth. |
 |
| Chocolate Treats. |
 |
| The Macallan 'Rare Cask Blend'. |
 |
| We all proceeded to toast. I can't even begin to tell you what this tasted like. It wasn't bad. No no .. far from bad. But ROUGH.. most certainly. |
 |
| I had drops of each one left in my glasses, but I finished before exiting. |
Amazing event! Quality tastings and a very informative history lesson. Super buzzed.. walking in the rain back to the METRO to get home. It was all worth it.
