Macallan Private Eye with Miniature

This Macallan Private Eye with Miniature is a very rare and collectible distillery bottling of Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Bottled in 1996 for the 35th Anniversary of Private Eye magazine with a screen printed label by the illustrator Ralph Steadman famous for his gonzo art.
A vatting of casks including one from 1961 produced only 5000 bottles.

This is bottle 3351 of 5000 and comes complete with the original miniature.

As a result quickly becoming one of the most sort after bottles of whisky from the Macallan Distillery. Furthermore very rare to find one being sold with the miniature!

This is a Rich and Fruity Whisky. See what other tipples we have that may take your fancy try our whisky by taste selection.

Macallan Scotch whisky Rare & Old Tasting Notes,,

This interesting Macallan without the sherry maturation is an example of refined complexity.

The graceful and fresh nose carries buttery, fruity sweetness (apples and apricots) and a hint of eucalyptus is coming through.

The palate opens honeyed and runs to spicy caramelized baked apples and sweet ripe grapes.

The Finish is long and fresh, still sweet and develops a late and fruity tang (J)

Clear Aged 30 years on the label and number certificate
