The Macallan Fine & Rare 1963 | 15 Year Old | 42.5% | 70cl | 83 Bottles
Distilled in 1963, the year of Beatlemania and the first episode of Doctor Who, this Macallan was bottled in 1978 as a 15 year old and re-bottled in 2009 to join the Fine & Rare Collection. Matured in sherry casks and bottled at 42.5%, it carries a rich cherry colour and the classic heavily sherried style of 1960s Macallan. With just 83 bottle equivalents, it is one of the smallest releases in the entire collection.

The Year That Was
With Beatlemania growing, The Beatles recorded their debut album Please Please Me in a single day at Abbey Road. The first episode of Doctor Who was broadcast, the Mona Lisa was exhibited in the US for the first time, President Kennedy was assassinated, and Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
About the Fine & Rare Collection
Launched in 2002 with 37 bottlings, The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection has grown into the largest assembly of vintage-dated single malt whiskies in the world, spanning eight decades from 1926. Each release comes from a single cask or a re-bottling of historic stock, with the vintage and bottling year printed on the label and the age, strength and volume written by hand. Every bottle can be recorded in The Macallan Vintage Bottle Register at Easter Elchies House.
