Macallan 50 Years Old 1949 – Millennium Decanter
Distilled on the 14th January 1949 in Spanish Oak Sherry Casks, this is an incredibly well aged Macallan which has attained near legendary status. Bottled for the Millennium celebrations; the highly coveted Whisky was decanted into a specially commissioned Caithness glass decanter, complete in an oak presentation box. It features a copper ingot stopper cast from No. 9 spirit still from the Macallan distillery. This example even comes with an uncompleted form to have a personalised Macallan Millennium key made as well as the original key provided with the set.
Naturally with copper there may be a slight tarnishing to the metal of the stopper but should polish out.
The whisky itself is an incredibly scarce 50 year old malt which is highly rated by Jim Murray, author of the whisky bible and the late whisky connoisseur and author Michael Jackson.
This is a fabulous Lot, and one which we’d love to keep ourselves! The lucky new owner will become the keeper of what is quite simply one of the most sought after bottles in the world.
Bowmore 1955 – 1974 Visitor Centre Opening Ceramic Decanter
From the legendary Bowmore distillery of Islay a truly rare gem. Specially bottled for the opening of the distillery’s visitor centre on September 12th 1974. This vintage ceramic flagon was mainly handed out to staff to celebrate the opening, most of which decided to open but lucky for us we have here one of the few remaining unopened bottles. We are led to believe it is 37.5cl size flagon but no size is stated.
Bowmore 42 Years Old 1964 – Black Bowmore
Distilled on 5th November 1964, this first instalment of the Bowmore 1964 Trilogy was carefully filled into Oloroso sherry casks where it spent the next four decades and more perfecting its
On the 5th of November 1964 The Bowmore Spirit was filled into Five Oloroso Sherry Casks and left to quietly mature in the deep, dark Bowmore vaults. After forty-two years, the casks produced only 827 bottle of this extremely rare malt whisky.
The result is a stunning aroma and palate, and the rich, deep, dark, almost ebony colour reflected in its name.
This release of Black Bowmore has had whisky reviewers heads in a spin about how good it is. Not many bottles can be described as Legendary, but fortunately, this is one of them.
