A cask of The Macallan 1926, laid down in 1926, yielded an extraordinary spirit after 60 years of maturation.
This particular cask, number 263, was bottled in 1986, producing just 40 precious bottles. These bottles represent a significant moment in whisky history, with many being released as part of the Macallan Fine & Rare series.
Beyond the standard releases, the distillery commissioned prominent artists to create unique labels for 25 bottles. Sir Peter Blake designed 12, and Valerio Adami designed another 12, though one was lost in an earthquake. Michael Dillon individually hand-painted a single bottle.
