Macallan 1980 / 18 Year Old / Gran Reserva / Bot.1999 Speyside Whisky

The Macallan 1980 Gran Reserva is a first-fill sherry cask Speyside from an era widely regarded as the distillery's finest, bottled in 1999 after eighteen years of maturation. At £8,500 it sits firmly in collector territory, but this is a whisky that earns its reputation through sheer depth and balance.
