Other Information
This lot offers the fantastic opportunity to own one cask of Macallan single malt scotch whisky, distilled in 1990.
Originally filled with Macallan spirit on the 5th March 1990, the whisky has since been maturing in a refill hogshead (cask number 4069) which is currently held in bond at Airdrie Warehouses (Chivas Brothers Ltd).
The cask was regauged on the 24th November 2022 summarising the following:
- Original bulk 243.2 litres | Original strength 63.5% ABV | 154.4 litres of alcohol
- New bulk 81.4 litres | New strength 45.4% ABV | 37.2 litres of alcohol
This would currently yield approximately 116 x 70cl bottles of 32 Year Old Macallan whisky.

UNOFFICIAL TASTING NOTES:
COLOUR:
Light to old gold.
NOSE:
Sweet heather honey and vanilla rise from a soft and gentle nose. There is toffee apple and a hint of raspberry that falls back into fresh peach, mandarin and old leather. This dram’s nose is sweet but without being overwhelming. Balance is key and there is a harmonius decorum, as you would expect from such a highly regarded marque.
PALATE:
Buttery and creamy but not as sweet as the nose suggests as the oak is more forward and drying. But this is merely a mask for what is floating underneath. There is a waft of orange blossom and red apple with milk chocolate and a scattering of sweet cherry flavours. The spices show later but never try to dominate to give an unusually classic Macallan with its soft balanced nuances of flower meadows and orchard fruits.
BODY:
Medium to light
FINISH:
Long with a soft spice over aromatic citrus
IMPORTANT:
- Cask storage fee will become payable by the buyer to Airdrie (Chivas Brothers Limited. Currently approx. £23.77 per annum.
- Legal ownership of the cask will be transferred to the buyer once payment has been received by Whisky Hammer. Funds will be held by Whisky Hammer until the buyer is in legal receipt of the cask ownership to protect the buyer's transaction.
- Ownership of this cask is auctioned in bond. The buyer will be responsible for any costs relating to removing the cask from bond in the future (i.e UK excise duty / VAT) as well as any other costs associated with cask movement and bottling.
