Macallan 57 Year Lalique

About this bottle

Debuting in 2009, this is the third bottling in the Six Pillars Collection, which draws attention to the six foundational elements defining The Macallan's character. Each is housed in a Lalique crystal bottle. This particular expression honors "The Finest Cut," representing the 16% of the final distillation that emerges from the spirit still. It underwent 57 years of aging, created from whiskies vatted together from a single malt aged in an American oak sherry butt distilled in 1950, and single malts aged in former sherry butts made from Spanish oak and distilled in 1949, 1951, and 1952. Bottled at 48.5% ABV, 400 bottles were produced.
