1972 Vintage Whisky
Whisky & Watergate
The Watergate scandal began to unfold in 1972, changing American politics forever. Meanwhile, the last Apollo moon mission, Apollo 17, was carried out.
In the whisky industry, the focus continued on specialty casks and finishes. Macallan introduced their Sherry Oak range, a line that would later become iconic for its aging in sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. These Macallan bottles have proven to be fantastic long-term investments, especially older vintages. The trend of releasing commemorative editions also gained steam, often aligning with historic events or distillery anniversaries.
Distillery tours became increasingly popular, and more distilleries began to produce "distillery-only" releases, creating exclusivity and intrigue. For collectors, whisky from 1972 is a treasure trove of both political history and some standout releases in the whisky world.
