Today, specialist spirits purveyor, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Ltd, announces its ‘Rarest Reserve’, a series of ultra exclusive expressions from its most revered casks.
The first two inaugural editions of this prestigious collection are a 52-year-old and 33-year-old Macallan, each bottled at 100ml and presented in an elegant gold bar design, limited to 500 per edition. Both have a lustrous glow, befitting the aged cask strength whiskies and packaging, while the volume appeals to a broader market of connoisseurs.
Earlier this month, the company were honoured to present HM King Charles III and HM Queen Camilla both with a dram of the 52-year-old Macallan at the 900th anniversary event at Edinburgh Castle. Launching these spirits from the Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky portfolio has also been timed to celebrate The Macallan’s illustrious 200th
anniversary.
Rarest Reserve 33-year-old
The journey of the 52-year-old Macallan Single Malt began in 1969, when the liquid was originally laid to rest. For decades, the liquid aged in a traditional American Oak ex-bourbon barrel until it was extracted from its original resting place and transferred into first fill ex-Oloroso Sherry Casks.
The 33-year-old has a multi layered complexity, offering facets of over-ripe tropical fruits, indulgent dark chocolate and a rich spiciness. On the palate is a creamy toffee with a finish that is elegant and rich, this whisky is one to be savoured, appreciated and celebrated.
Rarest Reserve 52-year-old
“We continue to launch whiskies from our vaults that go as far back as the 1960s.” commented CEO Shawn Smith. “We are very proud of the unique packaging that was created for these rare drams and know that fans of The Macallan may want the opportunity to taste these incredible malts or treasure them and keep as collector pieces.”
The Macallan 52-Year-Old is the oldest whisky from the Macallan Distillery that Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Ltd has released to date. This is the first time they have released the 33-year-old.
RRP of the 100ml Rarest Reserve 52-year-old is £7,850 and £630 for the 33-year-old. Each are available from The Spirits Embassy online or BlockBar, a global marketplace that sells wines and spirits authenticated via blockchain directly from producer to consumer.
