Macallan Fine & Rare 1937 37 Year Old 75cl
Lot number: 158-00843
Winning bid: £18,000
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.
Fine & Rare:
Launched in 2002, Macallan’s flagship Fine & Rare range showcases nearly eight decades of the distillery’s history. Comprised of expressions bottled using some of their oldest stocks, as well as rare Gordon & MacPhail releases that were bought back from private collectors and rebottled, the series represents the Holy Grail for many whisky enthusiasts, with examples frequently setting records at auction. We particularly like their understated packaging that sits back and lets the whisky do the talking.
