Macallan Cask 888

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.

Cask 888:

The Macallan Cask 888 debuted in Hong Kong at the Lalique Lounge to much fanfare, befitting its position as a limited edition single cask release. Only 720 bottles were made, 24 of which made available in Hong Kong at the time.

Cask 888 is blessed by a highly fortuitous name, and also by a beautiful decanter handcrafted in cosmetic glass by Stolzle Flaconnag.

The highly polished display case contains the decanter, stopper, two branded glasses and a certificate of authenticity. This set also includes a hand crafted wooden neck tag made from cask 888 and USB stick with information about this release.
