The Macallan The Reach
Whiskies, some guys can’t get enough of them, while others think, “Nah, just throw in some cola.” But believe me, with this whisky called “The Reach,” you won’t be tossing in any cola because this lad is too fancy for that. This whisky is a respectable 81-year-old single malt Scotch. Yes, you read it right, 81 years! That means this bottle, distilled by the acclaimed The Macallan, is older than color televisions and was crafted in 1940, right in the midst of the chaos of World War II.
The Macallan holds a high status in the world of whisky, and their single malt is like a rock star among beverages. Whisky enthusiasts worldwide adore it, and many a collector has a bottle tucked away in their treasure trove.
This rare whisky has withstood the test of time, with a portion evaporating each year, contributing to the so-called ‘The angel’s share’ disappearing into the air. Whisky over 18 years old is already quite rare, but one at 81 years is simply otherworldly old and, of course, super exclusive. Older whiskies also come with a price tag, as less remains from the original cask.
After all those years of patiently waiting, The Macallan’s master distillers could finally taste their masterpiece. Not too indulgent, of course, because this drink is precious stuff. The Reach boasts a beautiful amber color almost as tempting as a fine cognac. Lucky ones who’ve had a sip claim that this whisky harbors deep notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and peat.
But wait, there’s more! This exclusive bottle is available in a limited edition of just 288 pieces. They are bottled in stunning decanters, crowned with an artistically crafted bronze sculpture of three hands. Naturally, this bottle comes with a hefty price tag: a whopping £125,000, or approximately €150,000. Good things indeed take both time and money. Cheers!
