The Macallan Sherry Oak is exclusively matured in selected sherry oak casks from Jerez, Spain resulting in satisfyingly complex Single Malt characterized by its rich color and hints of dried fruit and spice. The Macallan Fine Oak is matured in a unique combination of bourbon and sherry oak casks delivering a particularly smooth, delicate yet complex Single Malt

The Dalmore brand owner Whyte & Mackay announced the release of one of the world’s oldest Scotch whiskies at last month’s TFWA World Exhibition.

Called 50yo expression of The Dalmore, this liquor was distilled 140 years ago and lets you savour the real taste of the era gone by; an offer that perhaps cannot be surpassed by any other brand name.

Only 191 hand-blown Portuguese crystal decanters are being released, 50 of which will be made available to travel retailers. The rest will give add to the bars across the world with a limited-edition silver neck tag and will be individually numbered. To add to its appeal each bottle will come with a handwritten letter signed by Richard Paterson, the Dalmore’s creator.

The Dalmore Master Distiller Richard Paterson said: “I believe we are the only distillery which has the depth of stock to create such a long-loved and nurtured whisky as this.”

He reckoned the product would excite all consumers, particularly in emerging markets, and added that rare and vintage whisky such as The Dalmore 50yo was now being seen as an investment.

The 52.8%abv 50yo whisky is described as “soft and elegant” with a “multitude of complex flavours that linger in the mouth”. Tasting of orange peel and liquorice initially, it reveals added touches such as crushed almonds and cinnamon.

Buzz is that The Dalmore 50yo has a retail price of 700 pounds ($1,030) per unit of alcohol, that means 5000 pounds ($7,200) is be charged for a full-sized 70cl bottle and up to 800 pounds ($1,150) a dram in on-trade outlets.

So go ahead and grab this limited edition whisky for a taste of history.

Veuve Clicquot is opening its first champagne bar and boutique at London’s Harrods store.

The Veuve Clicquot boutique is located on the first floor alongside international luxury fashion labels. There is also a lounge area with gray and yellow tones and glass topped tables for a more quiet place to contemplate money spent.

It will stock the full range of Veuve Clicquot Cuvees, from Yellow Label and Veuve Clicquot Rose to Vintages and La Grande Dame. All are available by the glass and by the bottle. Prices start from £13.00 ($20.00) per flute.

Viktor & Rolf have never been ones to follow the conventional rules of design. Last year they redefined classical style and reinterpreted the iconic object of champagne on behalf of Piper-Heidsieck bringing an upside down twist to their Rosé Sauvage champagne bottle to create a really striking and sophisticated objet d’art.

The Rosé Sauvage bottle becomes a phial. The inverted flute of champagne becomes a goblet. The base of the bottle, now at the top, which reproduces the proportions of the legendary champagne cork and its wire cage and foil, is enhanced with a pink and black gold ribbon stamped with the Piper logo. The secret? A tightly-fitting sleeve slipped over the preformed plastic shell that encases the bottle, all of which enhanced by classic labels in pure champagne tradition.

And while their imaginations are limitless, the bottle certainly is not. It’s priced at 65 euros ($90) and has been available since November 2007 from an exclusive selection of retail outlets, including Colette in Paris. Piper-Heidsieck « upside-down » has recently been awarded at the Monaco Luxe Pack fair !

The antonym of vintage has to be the newest spark of an idea in motion. Such is the case with Russo-Baltique Vodka; yet to be tasted and to appear in public, further fuelling the hype and Über-curiosity for this version of the delectable spirit.

A myth in the making, what is known is the inspiration behind it. Powered by passion for the finer and unique things in life this enigmatic and exclusive vodka is the brainchild of armour, combat car maker Russo-Baltique, DARTZ.TV Corporation in collaboration with Princess Regina Abdurazakova of Kazakhstan oil heiress fame.

The world’s most expensive vodka will be released on April 19 at the Top Marques Monaco and Prince Albert will be honoured with a gift of the very first bottle of this connoisseur creation. Reportedly priced at one million Euro ($1,35 million) we assume it chills on ice,

The Petit Coeur (meaning Little Heart) drinking glass is the latest creation of Etienne Menueau, a French designer who brought us a series of unusually-shaped carafes.

This work of art is an abstract reinterpretation of the human heart, complete with its atriums, ventricles, and an aorta for a spout.

The unique drinking glass is 20 cm tall, and made of borosilicate glass. only 12 (eight numbered and signed and four artist proofs) were made and they cost a shocking €1,500 ($2,000). Wine is good for the heart right ? ^_^
