The Macallan Exceptional Single Cask 1950, this is very rare and just like it says an expectational cask distilled back in 1950 and bottled in 2018, This makes this bottle just under 70 years old. It is said to come from a first fill sherry butt, with only enough liquid left in the cask to produce some 336 bottles, each bottled at 53.4% ABV. When you think about the long history this distillery has, it is interesting to take note of what was going on in the 1950s when this whisky was distilled. It represented a significant time for The Macallan, with “investment in the construction of new buildings on site and modernisation of existing buildings, the purchase of additional farmland and the first of The Macallan highland cows take residence on site.”
