Macallan 1951 Fine & Rare Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

Macallan's Fine & Rare range is home to some absolutely extraordinary whiskies, and this particular release certainly fits the bill. Sherry butts #1541 and #1542 were filled back on the 20th December 1951 and left to slumber in the same warehouse for 50 long years. Interestingly, the strength of the whisky was almost identical in each cask just before bottling in 2001, 49.4% and 49.9% respectively. 632 bottles were filled at natural cask strength, 48.8% vol.
