We guarantee the most exceptional price worldwide. Worldwide shipping as well.
This past September 2025, during an exclusive The Macallan tasting, we opened and savoured some truly exceptional expressions, including this remarkable The Macallan 18 Years Old from 1985. Bottled in 2003 and perfectly preserved ever since, it represents the power, depth and elegance of The Macallan whiskies from the 1980s.
And now, we are delighted to offer you the rare chance to taste it for yourself. You don’t need to acquire the entire bottle. Simply enjoy a 30ml sample of this magnificent whisky.
With a market value of over €2 .650 for a full 700ml bottle, this is your opportunity to experience it for just € 135.
A rare moment to taste history, but don’t wait too long, as samples are extremely limited!

The mystery of Sherry Oak maturation
For reasons not even science can wholly explain, whisky has always matured best in oak casks that have contained sherry. Due to increasing expense and scarcity, other distillers no longer insist of sherry casks. The Macallan Directors do.
Journeying annually to the bodegas of Jerez, Spain, they buy fresh oak casks into which they pour mature, carefully chosen sherries, then keep them for a further years in Spain before having them shipped over to be filled with whisky. The results are shown partly in The Macallan's rich golden colour, partly in the 'nose' and wholly, may we venture?
