THE MACALLAN 1965 25 YEAR OLD ANNIVERSARY MALT with wooden presentation case 75cl/ 43% Note: The Anniversary Malt range was in existence for almost twenty years from 1982 until the year 2000. These twenty-five year old bottlings are widely acknowledged for their quality and depth of character, exclusively matured in sherry casks. 1965 marks a key year at Macallan as it was the year in which the distillery doubled production capacity from six to twelve stills. The Macallan spirit stills are known as the 'sma' stills' or small stills, due to their diminutive size, 3,900 litres compared to 21,000 at Glenfarclas. The label reads 'In the heart of Speyside, in the region known as Glenlivet, stands the Macallan distillery. The site of whisky making for many generations. It was formally accorded legal status in 1824, and since then it has been the home of Scotland's finest malt whisky. This opinion was notably confirmed when, in a blind whisky-tasting recently organised by the London Sunday Times, it was the outright winner, scoring over thirty percentum more than its nearest rival. Again in 1982, the Macallan won the Madrid gold medal in the spirit's category against competition from all over the world. What is the secret of the world's finest spirit? For centuries, the Macallan has been distilled on the same estate by the same family in particular in small hand beaten copper stills - and, whilst other distillers no longer insist on using oaken sherry casks, at Macallan this costly tradition is maintained. Finally, at Macallan, a small quantity of the best casks are set aside to slumber even longer in the mellowing oak; until the contents are released, as here, to offer you one of life's few genuinely incomparable experiences.'
