Macallan Gold Double Cask

[Weetams]

Has anyone else noticed that Macallan Gold has vanished from the supermarket shelves almost overnight and has now started to climb in value on the auction pages?
I’ve managed to bag a few from local shops just in case.
The last time this happened we had the major rebrand in packaging. Maybe that’s coming?[/img]

Yes it has disappeared from the big supermarkets around me, it also seems to be gone from the online whisky shops, there are sellers on Amazon trying to sell it for crazy prices so i suspect it is either gone or they have a maturing stock level problem and it may return in the future as The Macallan still list it on their own website and I havent heard any announcements saying it has been discontinued. It would be great to see the returm of the Macallan 10 year old sherry oak but i would imagine it would have a hefty price tag.

There was speculation last year that it was being discontinued so I took a chance and raided Tesco for a case at £36 a bottle. Looks like a smart move.

It is now £69 a bottle

Went to Macallan recently and the shop confirmed it’s discontinued.

Thats a different bottle, namely the 12 year old version.
The discussion is about the non- aged Gold.
However, the 12 year old Gold Cask may also be discontinued now.

People who like Scotch do not buy Macallan.

Only people who like to spend money and show off do that.

So what are you saying, it's a bad whisky???

macallan gold was poor
so was the ruby sierra vienna and amber thats why they stopped them
they were more interested in colour the ruby was supposed to take over from the 18 year old

I didn't enjoy the gold , enjoyed a few others , the price is the price, if you can afford it buy it , and so on ,
