The Macallan 12 Years Old – Sherry Wood (1985 Bottling)
This lot represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a cornerstone of Scotch Whisky history: a The Macallan 12 Years Old, distilled in the 1970s and bottled in 1985. This specific bottle is an original edition destined for the Italian market, as distinguished by the prestigious F.lli Rinaldi - Bologna importer label. This partnership marks a golden era for single malts, making this bottling highly coveted by collectors worldwide.
The spirit embodies the classic, opulent style of the distillery from that period, having been matured exclusively in Spanish oak casks that previously held Sherry Oloroso. This traditional aging process has bestowed the whisky with a deep, natural amber hue and a rich aromatic profile featuring notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and warm spices—the hallmark of the "old style" Macallan character.
The preservation of this specimen is truly impeccable. The liquid remains at a high fill level, demonstrating the perfect seal of the original plastic cap typical of the mid-1980s. Both the label and the tax seal are intact and perfectly legible, retaining their historical charm. Furthermore, the original cardbox is included and remains in perfect condition, significantly enhancing the lot's collectibility.
To ensure its safe arrival, the bottle will be shipped via certified courier packaging, specifically designed to protect high-value spirits during transit and guaranteed by the carrier for maximum security.
