    Macallan Private Eye
    (70cl)
    Lot #1360020

    The ultra-collectible Private Eye bottle of Macallan. Limited to only 5000 individually numbered bottles. This bottling includes a single malt drawn from cask number 1580 which was bonded in 1961. This was then bottled in 1996 for the 35th anniversary of the famous satirical magazine Private Eye. It features a superb screen printed label by the legendary gonzo illustrator Ralph Steadman.

    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.
