Overview

To mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of René Lalique, the founder of one of the world’s foremost crystal artisans, we combined the creativity and craftsmanship of The Macallan and Lalique to produce the world’s most valuable decanter of whisky. A decanter made by Lalique using the ‘lost wax’ procedure to create a truly unique, one-off piece of art.

The decanter went on a world tour in 2010 to be admired by lovers of objets d’art and whisky alike. In each city on the tour a sample of the 64 Year Old Macallan whisky was auctioned with two beautiful Lalique crystal tumblers raising US$145,000.

At the end of its world tour the 1.5l decanter was auctioned in co-operation with Sotheby’s on 15th November 2010 in New York at the end of its world tour. The winning bid raised $460,000 making it the most precious whisky in the world. Through charity: water, we are able to provide 30,200 people in Nepal, India, Cambodia, Uganda and Ethiopia with clean, safe drinking water.
