What is special about the 49 year old Macallan Fine & Rare 1952 Cask 1250?The whiskey rarity is part of the exclusive Fine & Rare whiskey range, which is one of Macallan's oldest whiskeys and, after aging in sherry casks, is only ever released in a very small number of bottles. The noble whiskeys are reminiscent of the respective year of distillation and invite you to pause for a moment and appreciate remarkable stories or people who did great things and made history at the time. In 1952, when the magnificent Macallan Fine & Rare was being distilled and stored at Cask 1250, the death of King George VI at the age of just 56 rocked the world and Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne. The first rock and roll concert organized by DJ Alan Freed took place in the Cleveland Arena in the USA. British writer Ian Fleming completed his novel Casino Royale, which starred James Bond as Agent 007, and in England the New Musical Express (NME) launched its first singles chart release. An impressive year that whiskey lovers and collectors can reminisce about with the Macallan Fine & Rare 49 Year Old 1952 Cask 1250.
How long has the precious Macallan Fine & Rare Collection been around?Macallan's Fine & Rare Collection now includes 57 valuable vintage bottlings from the last 8 decades. The series started in the early 20th century. It is the largest collection of vintage malts in the world and includes the oldest and most valuable whiskeys that make the eyes of collectors shine. In 2019, a Macallan from this exclusive series smashed all whiskey auction records. The 60-year-old single malt from Cask 263, distilled in 1926 and bottled in 1986 with just 40 bottles, fetched £1.45 million (€1.7 million) at an auction by London auction house Sotheby's.
