Description
The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world. This release is part of The Macallan's Exceptional Single Cask series, which was revived in 2017. The whisky was aged for 67 years in an American Oak first-fill sherry butt, cask number 1683, and was bottled at a cask strength of 53.4% ABV. The edition is limited to 336 bottles.
