Indulge in mid-century Speyside splendour with Macallan ‘Speymalt’ 1966 – bottled 2015 by Gordon & MacPhail.
Distilled at Easter Elchies during the Swinging Sixties and laid down in a solitary first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, this venerable malt slumbered for close to half a century before G&M released it—non-chill-filtered and natural in colour—at a contemplative 43 % ABV. The result is a spellbinding tapestry of dark-fruit richness, polished mahogany and rancio-tinged spice that epitomises classic sherried Macallan.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • Single first-fill Oloroso butt bathes Macallan’s orchard-fruit core in decadent dried-fruit depth, dark-chocolate richness and exotic spice.

  • ~49 years of dunnage maturation polish the spirit into layers of mahogany sweetness, honeyed resin and elegant rancio complexity.

  • Bottled at 43 % ABV, natural colour and (traditionally) non-chill-filtered—preserving full texture, aroma and its deep antique-ruby hue.

  • Part of Gordon & MacPhail’s esteemed ‘Speymalt’ range—renowned for showcasing vintage Macallan at peak expression.

  • A rare portal to 1960s Easter Elchies craftsmanship—perfect for collectors, sherried-malt devotees and whisky historians alike.

Pour a measure of this distinguished Macallan and savour an unforgettable union of honeyed depth, opulent sherry richness and time-honed sophistication—an extraordinary dram that resonates long after the final sip.
