This achievement needs a background story, about how reading books about fictional books about an almighty wizard made me love a brand of whiskey. Macallan was Nate Temple's favorite drink, and this guy was a wizard, one of the Horseman's of the Apocalypse and a Maker.
The character in the urban fantasy "The Temple Chronicles" was created by Shayne Silvers, and made me fall in love with the product created by the Macallan Distillery located in Craigellachie, Moray, Scotland.
The single malt Scotch whisky is mentioned several times in the books, and I recommend you the Nate Temple series to everyone who still enjoys a good old paperback.
Shayne is a man of mystery and power, the author of the Amazon Bestselling Feathers and Fire Series. He also writes the Amazon Bestselling Nate Temple Series, which features a foul-mouthed wizard from St. Louis. He rides a bloodthirsty unicorn, drinks with Achilles, and is pals with the Four Horsemen.
Shayne holds two high-ranking black belts, and can be found writing in a coffee shop, cackling madly into his computer screen while pounding shots of espresso.
Back to the future, where I added a birthday Macallan to the list of goals for 2023. Is buying a bottle of whiskey an achievement? Can be if a man wants to make a big deal out of it! Will also help with the end of the year statistics, when I will say that I completed 80% or 90% of my goals!
The Macallan was one of the first distillers in Scotland to be legally licensed, with a history that started in 1824. The obsession with quality has been the hallmark of The Macallan since its founding by Alexander Reid on a plateau above the river Spey in north-east Scotland.
This will only take a lifetime!
The oak used to craft the casks can be up to 100 years old, and provides as much as 80% of the character and 100%of the color in the whisky. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of The Macallan Master of Wood, the hand-picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team.
Was hard to decide on my gift, and I finally choose the 12-years old Macallan Sherry Oak... a true classic and complex single malt. The Sherry Oak Collection is a timeless sensorial journey, beautifully led by European Oak, sherry seasoned in Jerez de la Frontera.
I hope I become a powerful wizard after each glass of Macallan, and the newly found powers will help me avoid FUD, FOMO, rug-pulls and bankruptcy. Life it's a gift and we must live it at the fullest!
The crypto connections are already rooted in all aspects of life, and there are perpetual benefits of using Web3 and blockchain solutions. I used my Plutus card for the purchase, and enjoyed a 3% cashback in $PLU. Buy whisky, get crypto... this is the way!
Plutus offers the best non-custodial card in the EEA, with the possibility to link personal crypto wallets like Metamask to the card. Their vision is to create user-friendly crypto-fiat synergy, via the DApp that mirrors a classic mobile banking app.
How was it? Amazing! Magic was crackling in the glass, as mystical energies were powering me up with every sip. The Sherry Oak exudes flavor notes of dried fruits, oak spice and nutmeg. The smooth silk alludes to the long and warming ginger finish of the single malt, while the rich gold color makes it look like a potion created by a powerful alchemist. LFG crypto bros!
