Macallan 60th Anniversary Coronation Edition

A glorious celebration.

One of only 1953 bottles available at the distillery and on their online shop, it was sold out very quickly.

This comprises 2 350ml bottles of Macallan Whisky, the first conveying the Queen as she was in 1953 aged just 26, and the second honouring the treasured monarch she has become today.
The two bottles feature a different image of The Queen, one taken in 1953 by Cecil Beaton, the other featuring an image taken in 2004 by Julian Calder, one of the world's most renowned portrait photographers.

The presentation box reflects the coronation itself. Bright and celebratory, with Gold, Windsor Red and Blue as used on the Queen's Coat of arms. The idea of the confident red box with gold florettes underlines the respectful presentation. A sort of, must have, rare Royal treasure case. - David Holmes

Tasting notes:
The first whisky, matured in American oak sherry seasoned casks, is a vibrant gold spirit offering a lemon and orange citrus nose. Ginger and summer berries flit in the background showing the exuberance of youth while hinting at a founding level of maturity. Matured in Spanish sherry seasoned oak casks.
The second whisky is a splendid mahogany sprit and presents a richly mature, elegant and refined nose. Nutmeg, ginger, rich fruits and resin soften to give a full mouth feel. There is great maturity on the palate, yet no sign of age.
