The Macallan 1946 - 52 Year Old - Select Reserve is a distinct single malt whisky matured for over half a century in sherry wood casks. This release is notable for being distilled from peated malt, a rarity for Macallan and a byproduct of coal shortages following World War II.
The whisky is presented in a handcrafted, lockable hardwood case and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It was bottled on May 1, 1998, making it one of the older expressions from this distillery.
This particular Macallan is aimed at whisky collectors and investors, owing to its unique peated character, extended aging period, and limited availability. It holds additional value for those interested in whisky with historic contextual relevance.
