If you thought no rarities existed in the world of spirits, then we’re happy to introduce you to the diamond of malt drinks. This exclusive whisky is not only unique because of its age, but also because it has set a new world record, after two of its bottles were sold together for $1.2 million by Dubai Airport retailer Le Clos!
The Macallan 1926 whisky bottles are now among the most expensive ever sold, and the price is worth every year the spirit was spent aging in Sherry-seasoned oak barrels. It was distilled back in 1926, matured for 60 years, and eventually bottled and released in 1986 awaiting your gustation.
Your favorite Macallan malt
Sought after by whisky collectors everywhere, The Macallan 1926 Whiskey now belongs to an international business tycoon who added these malt marvels to his private collection. Whisky connoisseurs will remember this purchase forever, for The Macallan 1926 is hardly ever made available for sale. Keep your eyes wide open, for no one knows when the next bottle will be put out for sale and could finally become your own.
Geoff Kirk, director of Prestige at The Macallan asserts that “the Macallan is renowned for its outstanding quality and this sale demonstrates the brand standing as a leading figure in the whisky industry worldwide”. We cannot deny that a whisky distilled about a century ago and stored in the most adequate conditions could be anything but impeccable, but we can lament that not everyone will have the chance to experience this Macallan spirit.
The Macallan 1926 at Le Clos
The last known sale of a Macallan 1926 whisky went for $75,000 in 2007- the price skyrocketed 8 times in 12 years! Such a whiskey could become much more to you than just a drink to have while enjoying your favorite cigar; it could be the investment of a lifetime.
