    Lot #1360364

    Speyside single malt giant, Macallan has launched its Exceptional Single Cask range – a series of 14 casks matured for between 12 and 22 years. The first 7 casks were available exclusively to the USA. A further 7 casks will be released in key cities in Europe and the Middle East, as well as The Macallan Distillery. At the time of writing (November 2018), batch 09 is exclusive to the distillery and limited to 468 bottles.

    Macallan

    Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, the Elchies Distillery as it was known initially, did not become the Macallan-Glenlivet in name until 1892. Since then, it has undergone massive expansion with Edrington and William Grant & Sons combining forces in 1999 to purchase Highland Distillers for £601 million. By then, the reputation of the distillery for its sherry-led style of whisky was already firmly in place. The new ownership model has enabled the distillery to produce new ranges, reach out to new demographics and establish itself as an international brand of quality. Bottles are Macallan are increasingly sought after for their commodity value and not the contents, which often are of high quality. Moving to a new distillery site in recent years, will in the long-term, allow Macallan to produce more and if needed, the old distillery sits idle despite being capable of producing 11 million litres before it closed in 2018.
