THE MACALLAN
The Macallan is without doubt one of the most widely recognized and respected Scotch whisky brands, in high demand in collector circles, as well as on the larger global spirits markets. At Christie's New York first spirits sale in 2007, a bottle of the 1926 Macallan sold for a remarkable $54,000. The following three lots provide another excellent opportunity to secure major Macallan collector pieces.
The 1946 is a Select Reserve, matured in sherry wood and matured for 52 years at the distillery.
The Macallan Millenium 50 year old in the specially commissioned Caithness Glass decanter is a very rare offering on the open market. The three 1949 casks that were chosen for the blend were discovered to have an almost identical alcohol strength when they were tipped for the marrying period, with each having remarkably lost almost exactly the same amount of spirit over the 50 years. Each butt therefore contributed a third of the character of this majestic whisky, specially created to celebrate the turn of the millennium.
And finally, the 55 year bottling in Lalique decanter marks a collaboration between Bob Dalgarno, Macallan master whisky maker, and Franois Schilt, Lalique master of crystal, and has been hailed as a 'historic alliance of artistry and craftsmanship, spirit and style'.
