Macallan 21 Year Old Edition 1 / The Savoy Collection

Many decades ago, The Savoy created a range of spirits bottled exclusively for the hotel to be enjoyed by the most loyal guest and discerning imbibers of the time. 
These spirits were savoured in The Savoy's world famous bar and were often shipped abroad or bought home as the most special memento of their stay.

In 2013 The Savoy revived this tradition with the launch of a most prestigious collection of unique spirits, bottled and presented to reflect the outstanding quality that has been The Savoy's trademark for over 124 years. 

This rare example of the much sought-after 21 years-old Macallan has been exclusively bottled for The Savoy by whisky collector and 'Keeper of the Quaich' Sukhinder Singh, who released this liquid from his private reserve stock, limiting to a maximum quantity of 121 bottles.

This particular Macallan has been drawn from a refill hogshead.

Bottle number 37 of 121.
