The closeout of the assortment will occur one year from now, crosswise over two sell-offs.

“This library of whiskies is filled with very special bottles, each of which has been researched and meticulously examined for condition and authenticity. Amongst the over 3,900 bottles is the largest collection of The Macallan ever to go to auction, including the limited opportunity to acquire the 1926 Valerio Adami and 1926 Fine & Rare 60 Year Old bottlings.”
Those two Macallans represent the world’s most expensive whiskies. Both releases consist of the same liquid drawn from the same sherry cask, which is sometimes known as ‘The Holy Grail.’

The Macallans incorporate probably the rarest Springbanks and Bowmores which are profoundly valued by collectors (Bowmore was a most valued for Gooding), numerous are rare offerings from different now-closed distillerries, really old bottles, and the more.
