The Macallan Fine & Rare 1991

There are moments when we may pause in our busy lives, close our eyes and think of those who came before; those whose labours and laughter, triumphs and tears, have shaped the world we know today. We may see them through an image, or through the written pages of history, or in the shared memories of our elders. Very occasionally they can speak to us more directly, through a medium we can consume, allowing us to drink the fruits of their endeavours. Such opportunities are rare, very rare. The collection of vintage single malt whiskies in The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection provides one of those opportunities.

Launched early this century, The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection has grown to become the largest assembly of vintage-dated, single malt whiskies in the world.
