Macallan 30 Years Old
Masters of Photography Rankin
Synonymous with dynamic and intimate portraiture, Rankin's powerful images are part of contemporary iconography.
Famed for his creative portraiture and his talent for capturing the character and spirit of his subjects, he stands as a formidable force in photography with his work regularly exhibited in galleries around the world from Sau Paolo to Moscow, London to LA.
Every presentation box in the collection contains an original Rankin Polaroid photograph. This is paired with a bottle of The Macallan Fine Oak 30 years old bearing a unique matching label, making each a truly individual work of art.
The Macallan Fine Oak is triple cask matured in a unique, complex combination of exceptional oak casks. This triple cask combination produces an extraordinarily smooth, delicate yet complex single malt, after maturing at The Macallan distillery for a minimum of 30 years.
Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, the Elchies Distillery as it was known initially, did not become the Macallan-Glenlivet in name until 1892. Since then, it has undergone massive expansion with Edrington and William Grant & Sons combining forces in 1999 to purchase Highland Distillers for £601 million. By then, the reputation of the distillery for its sherry-led style of whisky was already firmly in place. The new ownership model has enabled the distillery to produce new ranges, reach out to new demographics and establish itself as an international brand of quality. Bottles are Macallan are increasingly sought after for their commodity value and not the contents, which often are of high quality. Moving to a new distillery site in recent years, will in the long-term, allow Macallan to produce more and if needed, the old distillery sits idle despite being capable of producing 11 million litres before it closed in 2018.
