I've sung the praises of various forms of
the Macallan since Luxist began but apparently as a woman, I may be in the minority of women who find the single malt appealing. In order to appeal to female drinkers in the U.S. t
he Macallan has created Amber, a liqueur with maple and pecan flavors. T
he Scotsman reports that Amber is being tested in Washington, Denver and Seattle after small-scale trials in Boston. It may have met with resistance from some purists but one of my favorite experts,
Kevin Erskine of The Scotch Blog seems to be a fan saying that it is "s sweet without being cloying at all." Amber can be found for between
$30 to $35 at various outlets.
