Macallan Distilled 1971 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky in Box 750mL - A super rare Macallan, distilled in 1971 and bottled in 1989. The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt 1971 is a spectacular combination of the Speyside distiller's commitment to quality and their boundary-pushing innovation. Matured in real Spanish Sherry oak casks for almost 2 decades (yep these were the days when Macallan used real sherry casks not seasoned casks), the Macallan 1971 was distilled in 1971 and bottled in 1989 and offers a delicious mixture of vanilla, cinnamon, dried fruit and woody flavours and aromas. Quite simply an iconic Macallan that now is super rare especially with the box. A true treat for Macallan investors and collectors!

Macallan Distilled 1971 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky in Box 750mL - The Macallan is easily recognizable as one of the most prolific brands of elite-status single malt Scotch on the market today. The Macallan Distillery was founded in 1824 by school teacher and barley farmer Alexander Reid, soon after the Scottish Excise Act was passed to legalize the distillation of whisky. The brand specializes in high-quality single malt Scotch whisky and is one of the first brands of Scotch to take advantage of the marketability, taste, and profound influence available in the making of premium whisky – the scale of which has afforded Macallan ownership of up to 1/3 of the global single malt Scotch market.
This superior whisky combines classic distillation techniques with an innovative specialty in casks, and is the only Scotch distillery in the world to have its own Master of Wood - a role involving sourcing and curating Macallan’s 200,000+ oak barrel stocks derived from trees grown in the US and Spain.
