The Macallan 1949 Millennium Decanter is a 50-year-old single malt distilled on January 14, 1949, and bottled in August 1999. The spirit has been aged in Spanish Oak Sherry Casks, contributing to its heavily sherried character. This exclusive release was limited to 900 bottles, making it highly sought after among whisky collectors and investors.
This whisky comes in an elegantly designed Caithness Glass decanter, complete with a copper-mounted stopper. Notably, the copper detailing on both the neck and stopper of the bottle was cast from metal reclaimed from No. 9 spirit still at The Macallan Distillery. The presentation further includes an oak case, equipped with a lock and key.
Unique to this bottle is its historical significance. The whisky encapsulates post-war floor malting practices at The Macallan, as well as the influence of peat in the drying process, which was more prevalent during the coal rationing days following World War II. It is accompanied by an unregistered certificate, a key for the oak case, and a personalized packing slip, adding layers of authenticity and rarity to this collectible item.
Despite its age, the whisky has been well-preserved, as indicated by the original level at the top of the decanter shoulder. However, it is worth noting that some tarnishing may occur on the copper detailing, which can be maintained through regular polishing.
