It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high-quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope \u0026amp; King, and Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectibles on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbors, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whisky was distilled on 24th October 2001 and laid to rest in American Oak Sherry cask #ASP-6355\/04 before being bottled on 2nd September 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of 576 bottles.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macallan","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml \/ default","offer_id":32587553669225,"sku":"1275741-19","price":1499.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/Macallan-Exceptional-Single-Cask-2019ASP-635504.jpg?v=1746046600","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/macallan-exceptional-single-cask-6355-04-single-malt-scotch","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
