Each bottle and accompanying certificate bears a unique date, corresponding to one of the 366 days of 1948, a leap year. Certificates have been individually signed by David Robertson, Master Distiller and Macallan Nose at that time.The whisky possesses a remarkable character, imbued with an unusual phenolic note accompanying the rich, spicy, resinous, fruit character which typifies The Macallan.

The casks were filled on 3rd January 1948 and bottled in 1999 which makes the 1948 51 Year Old. Colour. Deep amber. Nose.
