Distilled on 10th November 1978 and resting undisturbed in hogshead #13810 for over 39 years, this single cask Macallan was drawn from the legendary Fine \u0026amp; Rare series — a collection that represents the very finest and most exceptional vintages The Macallan has ever produced, dating back to 1926. Bottled in 2018 at its natural cask strength of 59.2%, without chill filtration, and officially bottled by hand at Easter Elchies, Craigellachie, this is a whisky of extraordinary rarity and historical significance. Just one 700ml bottle was drawn from this cask. It is hand-signed and individually numbered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Macallan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slet’s use, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39 Years Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distilled 1978 | Bottled 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Hogshead #13810 (Sherry wood matured)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59.2% (Natural Cask Strength)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Macallan Fine \u0026amp; Rare Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresented in bespoke oak wooden case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom the producer:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich ginger and antique oak open the spirit, developing into dried apricot, raisin, and deep orange with a fresh, uplifting quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redolent of oak spice and bitter orange, which turns sweet and is balanced with a delicate peat smoke overtone.

Spanning vintages from 1926 to the present day, each release is matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak and bottled at natural cask strength without chill filtration. The 1978 vintage represents a golden era of Speyside distilling, when spirit was laid down in casks that would not be opened for a generation. This is not just whisky — it is an irreplaceable piece of Scottish heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerious Macallan collectors seeking single cask, vintage-dated rarities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvestors and connoisseurs pursuing the finest examples of 1970s Speyside single malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose seeking a trophy bottle of unquestionable provenance and historical significance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA once-in-a-lifetime acquisition for a collector who has everything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold by Whiskys.co.uk is 100% authentic and sourced through verified, trusted channels.
