Description

The Macallan The Reach 81 Years Old 41.6 abv 1940


A one-of-a-kind special edition of The Macallan The Reach 81 Years Old, the oldest whisky in the world. Distilled in 1940 and crafted from a single, sherry seasoned oak cask, this exclusive bottle of The Macallan The Reach is encased in a display cabinet lined in red leather, rather than the traditional cream leather which features on the original whisky release.


Bottle number 3/288 of The Macallan The Reach is encased in a mouth-blown decanter and cradled on a bronze sculpture of three hands. The cabinet is crafted using wood from a fallen elm tree which is thought to have been on The Macallan Estate in 1940, the year the spirit was distilled.


Alongside the bottle, the winning bidder will also have a bespoke small bronze sculpture created for them, and enjoy an exceptional distillery experience at The Macallan Estate, including a tasting of this extraordinarily rare 81 year old whisky.


The Proceeds generated from this sale will go toward The Macallan Artisan Apprenticeship Fund, awarded to artisan peers to support and perpetuate key generational skills and crafts.
