Description from the seller
The Macallan 18 Years Old – Distilled 1973 – Bottled 1991 – 43% – 75cl
One of the most desirable vintages within the classic Macallan 18 Years Old series.
The 1973 vintage is widely regarded as one of the strongest and most stable investment-year releases from the 1970s era.
This bottle comes from Macallan’s true sherry-driven golden age — a period defined by exceptional cask quality and significantly lower production volumes compared to modern standards.
These 1970s 18-year-old releases are not just mature whiskies — they are historical benchmarks of the distillery’s identity.
Why collectors are targeting this vintage:
1973: one of the most sought-after vintages of the 18yo series
Bottled 1991 (early classic series phase)
75cl format, increasingly scarce
Historic Italian importer Giovinetti & Figli – Milano
Produced during Macallan’s peak sherry maturation era
Tasting profile (typical 1973 character):
Layered dried fruits — raisins, dates, candied orange peel — followed by cinnamon, nutmeg, dark cocoa and polished antique oak.
A long, warming and resinous finish, emblematic of great 1970s Macallan.
Condition:
Bottle, fill level and box as shown in pictures.
Original box included with natural aging marks consistent with its vintage character.
A steadily tightening market segment, with 1970s Macallan 18 becoming increasingly scarce in complete condition.
Suitable for:
High-end collections
Investment portfolios focused on vintage Macallan
Vertical series building
Professional and secure shipping guaranteed.
