About this deal

The series is called The Six Pillars collection, and saw 6 decanters released over an eleven year period, each celebrating one of the six facets that Macallan believe set them apart from Scotland's other distilleries. The Macallan Six Pillars are: Exceptional Oak Casks, Spiritual Home, Curiously Small Stills, Finest Cut, Natural Colour and Peerless Spirit."

Only 400 decanters of this rare Macallan were ever produced, with the whisky being housed in American oak casks seasoned with sherry, which were filled in November 1950. The whisky was sold as "Man O' Hoy", after one of the island's landmarks, and was renamed 'Old Orkney' when the distillery was reopened in 1878 by the MacPherson brothers. In the early 1900s, Stromness was acquired by J & J McConnell Ltd. (McConnell's Distillery Limited) who operated the distillery until its closure in 1928. What makes this whisky so valuable? The listing for this 62 Year Old Lalique Six Pillars Collection No.5 miniature explained its rare status, saying: "Released in 2014, this liquid is from the fifth decanter in a highly limited, exclusive Macallan collaboration with crystal makers, Lalique. We are strong believers here at Hard to Find Whisky that all Macallan Whisky products are worth any whisky lovers time. If you are new to our Macallan Whisky range, you should try the Macallan 18, which is an 18 year old European whisky blended with an American Oak Cask. A soothing, yet sweet, single malt seasoned with sherry. It is one of the Macallan Double Cask range and the connoisseurs choice. Founded in 1824, the Macallan Whisky distillery is located in the Scottish highlands near Craigellachie on a 390 acre estate. By using the natural water from the River Spey, Macallan Whisky are able to produce single malt whisky to the highest standard. To gain the full bodied richness of Macallan Whisky, they only use 16% of these stills for filling into casks. Not only are they the first whisky distillery to gain a legal license, they are the only whisky makers to employ their own dedicated wood cutter to craft the Macallan Whisky Casks. What Macallan Whisky is the best?
