Cuvée presentation

An official bottling from the Macallan distillery in collaboration with Lalique, for the creation of the glass carafes. This range, called "The golden age of travel", is made up of five bottlings staging the different modes of transport in the 1930s: the Oceanliner, The Aeroplane, The Steam Train, The Motorcar and The Airship. The Oceanliner was the first bottling in the series, released in 2015 exclusively for duty-free travel. It is an incredible Macallan distilled in 1937, which was first bottled in 1972 before being re-bottled from 2015 onwards using the remaining stocks. The crystal decanter comes with a magnificent leather box created especially for the occasion. The nose reveals superb tropical fruits and floral aromas. On the palate, chocolate notes mingle with dried fruits (figs, dates) and exotic fruits (mango, guava). Notes of beeswax also enrich the palate. On the finish, smoky notes appear before a mentholated freshness concludes the tasting of this extremely rare whisky.

The distillery Macallan

Macallan is to Scottish single malts what Petrus is to French grand crus - a monument! To this day, no other distillery has sold a single edition at such a high auction price as The Macallan 60 Year Old 1926 Dillon, which fetched £1.2 million in 2018.Macallan owes this renown to the excellence of its production methods and its sherry-cask maturation, as well as the business acumen of its owners who, in the early 20th century, set out to conquer numerous markets, and the aptness of their vision of the distillery and its single malt, which they recognized as being akin to a château and grand cru. This led to the whisky adopting practices from the world of wine, including vintage bottlings for all versions aged 15 years and older, with the help up until the late 1960s of companies such as Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail, who bottled and distributed the malt on The Macallan's behalf. The 1990s saw the appearance of elegant 25 and 30 year olds, including those presented in the Tudor Crystal Decanters range, presaging the change in direction The Macallan would take in the new millennium. In 1999, an outstanding copper-adorned curved crystal decanter was released for a 50 Year Old edition distilled in 1949.
