Macallan Speymalt 55 Year Old 1950
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Destined for greatness from the outset, this spirit was distilled on 9 November 1950 and laid to rest in a solitary refill Sherry butt for more than five decades. Drawn at a contemplative 43 % ABV (non-chill-filtered and natural in colour), the whisky unveils a majestic tapestry of orchard fruit, antique oak and subtle rancio spice—an ultra-rare portrait of post-war Macallan craftsmanship.
