The Macallan has introduced a new member of its Fine & Rare Collection, Fine & Rare 1989. The latest edition in the line of vintage-dated single malt whiskies was filled on December 12, 1989 and bottled in January of this year. It was matured in a single sherry seasoned European oak butt cask for 32 years and is presented at cash strength.
The Fine & Rare Collection was originally launched in 2002 and is comprised of 59 individual releases across eight decades, the oldest of which was distilled in 1926.
“The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection is inspired by our whisky-making legacy. It is the finest and rarest range of single malt whiskies in the world and reveals the mastery of wood and spirit for which The Macallan has been renowned since 1824,†says Kirsteen Campbell, Master Whisky Maker at The Macallan. “These 59 unique vintages are products of nature’s gentle process, undisturbed for decades in sherry seasoned oak casks. They all speak of an unbroken provenance that has rooted The Macallan to its home at Easter Elchies for nearly two centuries and have been nurtured by nature on our beautiful 485-acre Estate, following time-honored maturation to achieve perfection. Each release is completely individual but unmistakably Macallan.
