Thanks for the heads up CirrusPress. Both my Macallan Rep and the sales person who gave this to me told me it was made out of copper and I never thought to question it given the color and weight.
You mention it multiple times, and it's worth noting this is NOT made of Copper. It's actually anodized aluminum and the color they chose was gold/yellow. It's a simple & low cost process which increases aluminums surface hardness & allows dyeing (coloring). Copper does have twice the thermal conductivity of aluminum but obviously is much heavier & costs much more than aluminum.
