The last of the Lalique: Luxury single malt Macallan has announced its oldest official bottling – a 72-year-old whisky. Described as "a celebration of the collaboration of masters from across the fields of whisky, crystal, architecture, construction and craftsmanship", Macallan 72 Years Old in Lalique-The Genesis Decanter, bottled at 42% abv, is limited to only 600 individually numbered decanters worldwide. Available from August 2018, the whiskies will be sold at select locations in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Distilled in the 1940s, the whisky comes in a Lalique crystal decanter, held in a case designed by Burgess Studio and handcrafted by cabinet maker NEJ Stevenson. According to Nick Savage, Macallan master distiller: "For its 72 years of maturation, the deceptively light colour hints that this is not an ordinary single malt. said Nick Savage, Macallan master distiller. "Reminiscent of a time gone by, it carries an exquisite balance of strong, sweet oak with the peaty spirit shaping its refined character. The whisky delivers surprise after surprise as aromas of fruit follow distinctive hints of peat, all the way through to the back of the mouth, where it is finished off with a lingering hint of rich fruit and oak."
