Macallan 10 Year Old Old Style & Private Eye Mini 5cl
Lot number: 105-03633
Winning bid: £950
The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. Now owned by the Edrington Group, The Macallan prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world.
A new £140 million subterranean distillery and visitor centre on the Easter Elchies estate was opened to the public in the summer of 2018 and has since won several awards for its architectural quality; with its exciting features including glass walls of vintage whiskies, a circular pod of copper pot stills, and a Boutique reflecting those in Dubai and Heathrow airports.
This 10 Year Old comes with a Private Eye miniature. The wee brother! This bottling was brought out to celebrate Private Eye’s 35thanniversary in 1996 and restricted to a limited edition of 5000 bottles.
Because of the unique stencilled label by the famous cartoonist Ralph Steadman this has become a must for collectors. Selected by whisky maker F.A. Newlands at the Macallan distillery.
Age: 10 Years Old
40% ABV / 70cl & 5cl
