The Macallan 1940 - 81 Year Old - The Reach, bottled in 2022, is the oldest release from The Macallan distillery, with a stated age of 81 years. Distilled in 1940 and matured in a sherry oak cask, this single malt whisky has an alcohol strength of 41.6% Vol. The release is limited to 288 bottles, each containing 700 ml of whisky. The presentation features a cabinet crafted from wood of an elm tree that grew on The Macallan Estate and was planted in the same year the whisky was distilled. The cabinet includes a mouth-blown decanter, which is cradled by three bronze hands, symbolizing the contributions of master whisky-maker Kirsteen Campbell, former chairman Allan Shiach, and the distillery workers of 1940.
The decanter rests on a plinth designed by Scottish sculptor Saskia Robinson. The three bronze hands not only serve as a stand but also as a tribute to the key figures associated with the whisky's creation. Each bottle is accompanied by a book that details the history and production of this whisky. Due to the limited number of bottles produced, The Macallan 1940 - 81 Year Old - The Reach is a notable addition to any whisky collection.
