THE MACALLAN

1985
The Year that Was
The Macallan continues to demonstrate its appeal to collectors with its inspired partnerships with other premium brands such as Lalique. However, its reputation for outstanding quality, innovation and exclusivity across its entire range is truly international – and is arguably no better illustrated than with the Fine & Rare Collection. Indeed, the continued pre-eminence of The Macallan at auction is underlined by the remarkable prices achieved for The Macallan 1926 60 year old.
