Winning bid: £7,500
The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world.
A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports.
Available only from the distillery, with no more than 2,000 bottles made available.
Comes with a beautifully illustrated hardback book which revisits The Macallan's original print, press & film advertising campaign 1980-1994.
The book contains a USB stick continuing the advertising archive.
43% ABV / 70cl
Please note there is an issue with the Folio packaging, where the retaining clips that hold the book in place have a tendency to break in transit. This is because some are made of fragile plastic, as opposed to the metal. Scotch Whisky Auctions cannot guarantee that these will arrive intact if shipped. The quality of the tin is extremely fragile and prone to denting.
Please note that this lot is a large item. Additional delivery charges may be payable.
Please examine the images of the bottle, packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.
