The Macallan Edition No. 2, $175

Sadly, buying unique releases by this legend of whisky making is no longer about happening upon something fun—they sell out so quickly and the prices escalate so fast among collectors that sourcing a bottle requires military precision. So you’re warned: swoop in and grab this collaboration with legendary Spanish restaurateurs the Roca brothers (owners of El Celler de Can Roca, frequently called the best restaurant in the world). And do us a favour: enjoy its citrus, vanilla and toffee flavours in a glass with friends, and don’t treat this as an appreciating asset (even if it is).the-macallan
