product Details

Macallan Masters of Photography / Mario Testino

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.

A very limited Macallan, bottled from 6 unique single casks picked by Macallan Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno. Only 1000 bottles were produced.

This Masters of Photography release celebrates the famous Peruvian fashion and portrait photographer, Mario Testino.

Presented in a magnificent glossy black case, the set contains prints captured by Mario himself, as well as a secret compartment which contains a set of 6 single cask miniatures, each representing one of the six Macallan pillars.

Please note there will be a shipping charge for 8 bottles with this lot due to its weight.
