The Reach by The Macallan 81 Year Old 1940
– REGISTER YOUR INTEREST –
The legendary Macallan Distillery has achieved something extraordinary with this jaw-dropping bottling – it has released its oldest ever whisky, which is really saying something when you remember that it has previously bottled up whiskies over 70 years old.
The Reach, however, goes further than ever before. This is an 81 year old single malt Scotch whisky, drawn from a single sherry-seasoned cask that was laid down in 1940. Yes, you read that correctly. This expression has spent over eight decades maturing at The Macallan's home in Speyside, allowing its flavour profile ample time (to say the least) to develop. A truly astonishing feat, one that very few distilleries would be able to accomplish. Only 288 decanters have been produced.
