Macallan Private Eye - 35th Anniversary
A legendary collector's bottling from The Macallan, created to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Private Eye magazine. This highly distinctive release contains whisky distilled in 1961 and bottled in 1996, making it a remarkable piece of Macallan and whisky collecting history.
The whisky was released as an official Distillery Bottling in a limited edition of 5,000 bottles. Bottled at 40% ABV, each bottle carries the distinctive Private Eye presentation, with cask #1580 referenced on the label.
The Private Eye 35th Anniversary is particularly sought after not only for its vintage and association with Macallan, but also for its unusual story and memorable presentation. It represents one of the classic Macallan releases from the era when the distillery's bottlings were already becoming highly prized among collectors.
For enthusiasts of historic Macallan, this is a bottle that combines an early-1960s vintage with one of the distillery's most recognisable commemorative releases.
