Read More »In recent years, the value of rare and collectible whiskies has skyrocketed, with bottle prices topping out at nearly $2 million. These record sales make for great publicity, but once bottles reach the auction market, their price is often out of the distillery's hands. However, distillers can control how long a whiskey is aged, and as interest in Scotch has continued to build, producers have dipped into their cellars to set a different type of record: older and older releases. Scotch producer The Macallan — by most accounts, the most coveted whisky brand in the world — has announced a new "oldest whisky ever" (in aging time spent in cask, not age of the bottle). Distilled in 1940, this World War II survivor, named The Reach, was aged for 81 years before being bottled last year in anticipation of going on sale this month. Probably not coincidentally, The Macallan Reach is one year older than a Glenlivet 80-year-old (also bottled in 1940) that was billed as the oldest single malt whiskey ever when it was announced last year. By releasing an 81-year-old, The Macallan is able to reclaim this title which it previously held when they released their 78-year-old Scotch back in 2020. Needless to say, the world's oldest Scotch won't be released in a screwtop — especially with a $125,000 price tag. So as usual, The Macallan has gone all out with the packaging: Each of the 288 bottles, all of which hail from a single sherry cask, arrive in a blown glass decanter cradled by a bronze sculpture of three hands, courtesy of sculptor Saskia Robinson. The Macallan adds the decanter is even "indented with subtle fingerprints that match the hands that hold it."
