There is a story behind every bottle of American, and The End of an Era, Bottled: Macallan 1980 carries one worth telling.
The Macallan 1980, bottled in 1999, captures a unique moment in whisky history. Distilled the same year the distillery dropped the "-Glenlivet" suffix and adopted ‘The Macallan’ name, this spirit was bottled just as Edrington Group took control of the distillery, ending generations of family ownership.
