Macallan 1971 18 Years Sherry Wood Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43.0% Vol. - especially rare original bottling of a first-class old style Macallan for the German market!
An extremely rare Macallan Vintage 1971 18 Years old Sherry Wood Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which was bottled exclusively for the Jumac GmbH in Bonn in the year 1989 and today is one of Macallan s rare original bottlings from the early 70s for the German market.
This particular old style Highland Single Malt was produced without the addition of dyes and chill filtration at 43.0% vol. and is part of the series that has given Macallan its almost legendary reputation: the pure sherry cask bottlings. It was not until the middle of the 1960s that Macallan concentrated on single-malts matured in the sherry barrel and, with the exceptional barrel policy, gained great recognition among whisky connoisseurs worldwide. At that time they experimented with different sherry casks and decided to use European Oloroso casks, which previously stored the world-famous Spanish liqueur wine. Despite the crisis in the 1980s among the sherry producers, the Speyside distillery Macallan succeeded in securing the supply of selected sherry barrels and filling the coveted Sherry-Cask whiskys further.
Today, the 18-year-old Sherry-Oak Macallan is one of the best-known and sought-after whiskys, enjoying an almost legendary reputation because of its excellent quality and filling without any dyes and can be described as an icon among the Scotch whiskys. In the year 1986 Macallan changed the design and packaging of the 18 Years Sherry Oak range. These bottles and packaging have a modern shape and from the year 1992 onwards, the bottlings to the existing bottle code for the protection against counterfeiting were added with a safety hologram at the capsule and each one have an individual number.
The early to mid 80s bottlings of the 18yo Macallans tend to show a much gamier, meatier profile with notes of Spices, cloves, oranges, dried fruit with some smoke and lots of classic sherry intensity. Super soft and typically luxurious in style.
An absolutely first-class single malt from Macallan in almost perfect condition and a special highlight for collectors, connoisseurs and lovers of extraordinary Scotch whiskies - today almost impossible to find!
