Description

The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 in Craigellachie, Moray. Famous for their use of ex-Sherry casks, Macallan has become one of the world`s most sought-after single malts in recent years.

These are the original exceptional cask bottlings, released in the late 1990s and 2000s. These were all bottled at cask strength "to pour further" from various sherry butts, typical for The Macallan.

This lot includes the following 50cl bottlings:

  • Macallan - 1981 Exceptional Cask #9780: This is the first release in the Exceptional Cask Series. Filled in December 1981, this single malt was matured in a Fino sherry butt before being bottled in December 1999 at 56% ABV.
