This rare pre-war Macallan was distilled in 1937 back when peat smoke was still a big part of the whisky’s character. Bottled in the 1970s by Gordon & MacPhail it’s a rich complex unique mature and smoky dram. Imported to Italy by Sestante it was filled into a gorgeous Edinburgh cut-crystal decanter and has now come back to the UK as one of the last remaining examples of Macallan-Glenlivet distillation from the 1930s. Super scarce bottlings from the Speyside icon are always highly sought-after by collectors and even more so when they’re as beautiful as this.
Established in 1865 by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail in Speyside the independent family-run business Gordon & MacPhail has been bottling extraordinary whiskies for over 120 years. Their Aladdin’s cave of a warehouse in Elgin is home to more than 7 500 casks from some 70 different distilleries. Nobody knows more about this business than the experts at Gordon & MacPhail. They are masters of the cask and rumour has it that they do such a good job of maturing their whisky that sometimes Macallan asks to buy them back. Well they’re not having this one.
“Macallan is the daddy as far as legendary whiskies go ” so says whisky expert Ian Buxton. This Speyside behemoth enjoys huge global demand perfectly illustrated by a 30-year-old cask breaking auction records when it sold for $375 000 (US) in Hong Kong. Deservedly so it remains the aficionado’s choice when it comes to Scotch.
