Embark on the journey of Alexander Reid, the visionary behind Macallan, through Volume II of the Tales of The Macallan series. Commemorating 200 years of this iconic establishment, the 73-year-old single-malt whisky reflects Reid’s essence with its exquisite blend of black cherries, ginger sponge, and dark chocolate orange, concluding with a lingering, smoky finish. Limited to just 344 bottles, it is encased in a distinctive Lalique decanter and accompanied by an 800-page masterpiece illustrating the pioneer’s narrative.
The Macallan’s lead whisky maker, Euan Kennedy, carefully selected the elixir for this release—a whisky distilled in 1949 and bottled in 2022. Encased in a meticulously crafted crystal decanter from longstanding collaborator Lalique, it remains hidden within an 800-page almanac crafted by renowned London-based bookbinders Shepherds, Sangorski & Sutcliffe, and Zaehnsdorf. Each chapter within the almanac unfolds the captivating tale of Reid, brought to life through the artistic prowess of British illustrator Andrew Davidson.
To enhance the experience, a complementary animated short film has been created, featuring select illustrations by Davidson, accompanied by an original musical composition from Scottish composer Craig Armstrong.
A rare offering, limited to just 344 decanters of Tales of The Macallan Volume II, will be released with a suggested price of US$89,000 / 89,000€ / £77,391. Starting from January 26, these exclusive decanters can be acquired at The Macallan Estate, Macallan Boutiques, and select premium retailers such as Harrods, Selfridges, The Whisky Shop, and Berry Bros. & Rudd.
