macallan Red Collection cost
The Macallan Red Collection is a rare collection of single malt scotch whiskies. The collection includes six vintages of whisky that are aged between 50 and 65 years. Its retail price is PS65,500, or about $116,000 in Singapore. It will be released later this month in specialist retailers worldwide. This limited edition whisky comes in an oak presentation box, crafted from European oak and upholstered in Scottish leather. The wood used in the box was sourced from a company called Bridge of Weir, which also makes the leather for the Macallan bottles.
The Macallan Anniversary Malt sold for more than $100,000 last year. It was drawn from three casks that were laid down in 1926 and 1928. Lead whisky maker Sarah Burgess chose the bottle as it is the oldest of the six Macallan 60 year Old Red Collection bottles. In addition, this particular bottle came in a specially designed decanter that resembled the architecture of the new Macallan Distillery.
The Macallan Red Collection will be available at Harrods, The Whisky Exchange, and The Whisky Shop from October 2020. The Macallan Red Collection is an exclusive limited edition. It is not recommended for short-term investment. Nonetheless, the quality and age statements of these bottles make them a worthy long-term investment.
