Macallan 1940 The Reach 81 Year Old

When released in February 2022, this eye-catching edition from the famous Speysider became the distillery's oldest official age-statement. Titled The Reach, the whisky was distilled in 1940, during the early days of the second world war, and has seen a lengthy maturation period of 81 years in a single sherry-seasoned cask.

As you would expect, the presentation showcases the highest quality of Scottish craftsmanship. The mouth-blown glass decanter is displayed on a weighty plinth, which was created by Scottish sculptor Saskia Robinson. This artwork features three bronze hands, which are a tribute to the three people who helped to create the whisky. These include Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell; Allan Shiach, who is the grandson of Dr. Allan Shiach, who ran the distillery in 1940; and the distillery workers of the 1940s themselves.

The decanter and sculpture are housed in a well-crafted cabinet made with wood from a fallen elm tree. This tree is thought to have been on the Macallan Estate in 1940. A beautifully presented book that details the release is also included.

This is one of 288 decanters, which also includes a professional flight case.

It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills.

Thank you for the really nice Marques de Riscal barrel. Shipment was very fast. It is very expensive because of the shipping costs but for us it is worth it. It is in our living room now 🤗

Highly recommended. 500 euro case of wine shipped in bubble wrap. Result: broken case. I ask for 10% refund but they won't accept it except for the next purchase.

Selgers tilbakemelding

Dear customer, we were waiting for your comment. The transport company had no problems on their part, and we offered to collect the entire lot at our own expense, but they refused, threatening to leave a negative review. All they were looking for was a big discount for "according to you" a broken wooden box that could have been caused by you. The customer is not always right. Regards

todo bien como siempre!👍

Dear customer, we have not heard about the damaged bottles, we can fix it. We will contact you to give you a solution. Thank you very much.

The bottles did not come in the original packaging as stated in the offer. Also, seller ship from Spain (stated Ireland) which means shipment charges are very hight for real cost.

Dear customer, we have already sent you the box in another shipment as we told you. We have several warehouses in Europe and our shipping costs are the same for all countries, without making any distinction. Thank you very much for your purchase. :-)

El vendedor realiza los pedidos desde España, y no desde Irlanda como menciona en sus anuncios. De esta manera los gastos de envío son más elevadoas.

Some of the 12 bottles of wine arrived broken. The packing wasn’t great. Let’s see what is done by Privatum to put things right before I give a definitive rating. I am optimistic! Fingers crossed.

Zéro pointé pour UPS qui n'a jamais présenté le colis à mon domicile et pagaille chez le commerçant qui n'avait pas cherché plus que ça le colis lors de mes 2 appels téléphoniques.
