Salute the Past and Toast to the Future

The Macallan's latest release is older than most of us.

Created during the turmoil of WWII and laid to rest in 1940 just before The Macallan was forced to close its doors for the first time in its history, The Reach is a newly released 81-year-old single malt that captures an extraordinary moment in time. It is the oldest whisky ever released by the Speyside distillery, and is rich with notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, peat, toffee, crystalised ginger, and charred pineapple. Its mouthblown decanter sits atop bronze hands, sculpted by young Scottish artisan Saskia Robinson, representing the craftspeople of 1940, former chairman Allan Shiach—whose grandfather headed the company when this spirit was first put into cask—and current Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell.
