The magnificent Macallan 1979 Gran Reserva 18-year-old. This was the first and best release in the legendary Macallan Gran Reserva series and is still regarded as one of the finest heavily-sherried teenage Macallans ever released.

The first edition of Macallan Gran Reserva 18-year-old came from a batch of 1979 casks that were bottled in 1997, presumably after they were judged to be too good for the core range Macallan 18-year-old.

This somewhat cynical decision was to be fully justified by the response. Presented in a chunky, calligraphed wooden box, Macallan 1979 Gran Reserva 18-year-old caused a sensation among whisky fans - despite being priced at a whopping £75, which was nearly double the RRP for the standard Macallan 18-year-old at the time.

A stunning mixture of dark fruit and chocolate with simmering spice, coffee, balsamico and sweet, nutty, earthy complexity, Macallan Gran Reserva 1979 is a simply majestic whisky.
