The Macallan has unveiled a new release in its Fine & Rare collection: the 1977 vintage.

The Macallan Fine & Rare collection was created to identify the best of The Macallan’s maturing stock. Only four bottles of the 1977 vintage were allocated to the U.S. market this year, with a similar amount expected next year.

“The full, rich, classic Macallan body holds the supporting characters of sweet apples & vanillas, to give an all-encompassing whisky,” says The Macallan’s Master Distiller, Nick Savage. “A hint of peat in the background draws inspiration from The Macallan heritage, balanced with maturation in a smaller hogshead cask for a rich, yet delicate experience.”

Over the years, the Fine & Rare collection has underpinned The Macallan as among the world’s most valuable and collectable single malt whiskies, dominating auctions around the globe and setting world-record prices, both at auction and private sale.

The 1977 Fine & Rare vintage comes from the sherry cask No.8661 and has an ABV of 48.5%.

The suggested retail price is around $15,000 per 750-ml. bottle. For purchasing inquiries, please email: Inquiries.us@themacallan.com
