    Macallan Coronation
    (2x35cl)
    Lot #1360932

    This limited edition commemorative bottling is comprised of two 35cl bottles of Macallan housed in a box designed by David Holmes. The first bottle conveys the Queen as she was in 1953 and the second honours the treasured monarch she has become today. The two images on the bottles were taken by Cecil Beaton and Julian Calder respectively. There were just 1953 of these fantastic collectors editions released for sale in the UK. The first bottle is 55.7% and was aged in American oak sherry seasoned casks and the second is 58.1% and was aged in Spanish sherry seasoned oak casks.

    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.
