Macallan The Reach 81 Years Old 70cl 41.6°

Unique copy for France, found a buyer.

With this expression The Reach, The Macallan unveils the oldest expression produced by the Scottish distillery: an exceptional ageing of 81 years that has spanned the ages, steeped in history.

Distilled in 1940, at a particularly turbulent period in history, this exceptional Single Malt is made from a single oak cask that previously contained Sherry. It sports a sweet profile, signature of The Macallan productions, which blends with a complex array of flavours of peated malted barley, smoke and ancient oak.

For this precious whisky, a container worthy of its prestige was needed and to do this, the distillery called on a group of Scottish craftsmen.
Presented in an elegant wooden box, the Single Malt is housed in a mouth-blown glass carafe, supported by three bronze hands created by sculptor Saskia Robinson. The Reach being the fruit of a long collaborative work, testifying to the know-how of the house, each hand represents one of the major actors having intervened on its production:

- the workers of the 1940 distillery who made the spirit in difficult times,
- the former president of The Macallan, Allan Shiach, whose grandfather ran the company when this spirit was first casked,
- and master whiskey maker, Kirsteen Campbell, who carefully selected the special cask used to create The Reach.
