McNeill's Choice brings the legendary “1988” - A rarity with only 103 bottles

McNeill's Choice proudly presents “1988” - a whisky that embodies time and maturation like no other.

This rarity is special not only because of the limited number of only 103 bottles, but also because of the intense maturation that gives it exceptional depth. The original cask has suffered considerable losses over the years, and so only a fraction of the whisky remained at the time of bottling. Originally estimated at 175 bottles, after further losses a pure essence of only 103 bottles remained, intensely reflecting the character of the cask.

With a natural cask strength of 46.2%, this whisky has found a perfect balance that delights connoisseurs and lovers of exceptional bottlings alike.

The taste of “1988” is rich, full-bodied and multi-layered - aromas of ripe fruit, dark chocolate and a fine oak note take the connoisseur on a journey through time. This whisky is an experience in itself and is a true collector's item with its fascinating depth and limited availability.

Taste profile of the McNeill's Choice “1988”:

Nose: Warm notes of vanilla bean, apple pocket, cinnamon and cloves, accompanied by hints of passion fruit and grapefruit.

Palate: Fresh and clear, with flavors of popcorn, chocolate brownie, grapefruit and orange zest. In the second sip, more vanilla and sweet notes such as grape sugar and dates, complemented by slightly tart roasted flavors.

Finish: Long-lasting and creamy, with grapefruit, vanilla, caramel and coconut - the sweetness remains present and is harmoniously accompanied by subtle, tart accents.

The “1988” from McNeill's Choice is a unique opportunity to experience a piece of whisky history in its purest form.
