In stock, LFW price to be advised.
The Finest Cut decanter has been designed by the legendary French crystal
house Lalique, exclusively for The Macallan. A limited edition of just 400 have been produced.
This is the third collaboration between The Macallan and legendary crystal
makers Lalique, a truly stunning addition to the Six Pillars decanter
collection. As a reflection of the beauty of the decanter we chose to fill it with a particularly rare 57 years old Macallan single malt whisky. It is the second oldest ‘vintage’ Macallan whisky ever released, only surpassed in age by the legendary 1926, a 60 year old Macallan bottled in 1986.
The 57 year old has been vatted together from two casks; the first, a 1950
American oak sherry butt, the second a vatting of Macallan from Spanish oak sherry butts originally filled in 1949, 1951 and 1952. The result is a softly sumptuous single malt, showing off the classic dried fruits, spice and hints of peat redolent of The Macallan house style of the early 1950s.
