Macallan MMXI 1824 Collection Limited Release


26th May 2011

The Macallan Limited Edition MMXI Joins 1824 Collection

The latest and most elegant addition to the award-winning Macallan 1824 Collection, which is exclusive to travel retail, is being unveiled in selected airports around the world.

The Macallan 1824 Collection Limited Release MMXI consists of just 1,824 bottles of a single malt whisky which has been selected at the peak of its maturity to reveal exceptional depth of flavour.

Bottled at 48.2% ABV, The Macallan Limited Release MMXI has been aged in sherry oak casks, some of which were first fill, creating fruity characteristics with hints of toffee apple, caramelised ginger and spice, with a long finish.

This super-premium addition to the 1824 Collection is presented in a beautiful decanter, which sets off its deep mahogany tones, topped with a silver dress stopper and set in a luxurious rosewood burl display box.

The Macallan Limited Release MMXI is being rolled out in high profile locations such as the Tasa Meng store in Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Sky Connection in Hong Kong and with Lotte in Seoul Incheon.

Steven Sleigh, Area Director Global Travel Retail, The Edrington Group, "The response to the travel retail exclusive 1824 Collection has been extraordinary and the demand for the first Limited Release decanter, the most premium expression in the collection, far exceeded supply. The Macallan 1824 Limited Release MMXI decanter is a very refined and elegant addition to the collection and the whisky it contains is quite superb."

Testament to The Macallan’s knowledge and mastery of wood, Select Oak is crafted from an exceptionally wide and unique combination of five cask types, delivering extraordinary smoothness, remarkable sweetness and depth.

Whisky Maker’s Edition
Crafted by The Macallan Whisky Maker for his personal enjoyment and bottled at his preferred strength of 42.8% ABV, this delicious Single Malt is layered with fruit and spice.

Estate Reserve
This classic style Macallan is non-chill filtered and includes a parcel of specially reserved casks. These Sherry seasoned Spanish oak hogsheads deliver great richness and intensity.
