The Macallan 1948 51 Year Old Select Reserve For Sale At Mark Littler Ltd 

A rare bottle of Macallan is now available for purchase on the Mark Littler Shop for £20,678; the lowest retail price globally.

The Macallan Select Reserves were released in the late 1990s, representing a distinct change from historic Macallan releases. When Macallan took charge of their own bottling and packaging in the 1980s, ending the tenure of Gordon & Macphail and a few others, the distillery began experimenting with packaging. The sleek and simple presentation lends itself to the simple luxury that is often associated with Macallan, and with the Fine & Rare series that followed, with the latter series having extremely similar packaging to the Select Reserves.

There are only two bottlings in the Select Reserve series: a 1946 52 Year Old, and a 1948 51 Year Old. The releases ascertained that there was a strong appetite for luxury Macallan bottlings on the market. And so, the Fine & Rare series was born. As a result, the Macallan Select Reserves are somewhat overlooked on the secondary market, often priced at thousands of pounds below their Fine & Rare counterparts.

The Macallan 1948 51 Year Old Select Reserve at Mark Littler LTD is presented with its original wooden tube as well as an outer presentation box. Each bottle from the series was labelled with a different date, allowing purchasers and investors to seek out bottles specific to a special date in their lives, such as a birthday or an anniversary. The bottle at Mark Littler LTD is dated 26th June. The whisky was bottled at 46.6% ABV in 1999.

The Macallan 1948 51 Year Old Select Reserve is priced at £20,678. Buy now on the Mark Littler Shop.
