1986 Vintage Whisky

Whisky in space - MIR & Challenger

1986 was a somber year, marked by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the launch of the MIR space station and the Challenger space shuttle tragedy. A midst this, the whisky industry saw the formation of the Scotch Whisky Association, which set regulations and promoted Scotch worldwide. Macallan's 18-Year-Old Sherry Oak, first distilled in 1968, became a cornerstone for collectors and investors, with values that have skyrocketed over the years. A move toward globalization saw Scotch brands increasing their export efforts, particularly focusing on emerging markets.

For collectors, whisky from 1986 represents resilience and the establishment of standards in an industry facing a rapidly changing world.
