Macallan 12 Year Old Speyside M Signatory Vintage Small Batch #11 Single Malt Whisky (2024) 70cl

A small batch 12-year-old Undisclosed Speyside 'M' from the 2011 vintage, bottled in 2024 at 48.2% without colouring or chill filtration by Signatory Vintage.

This 12-year-old Speyside (M) from 2011 was aged in Oloroso Sherry casks, a nod to the distillery's renowned whiskies of yesteryear. The owners at Edrington may have some restrictions on independent bottlers using their name, but you likely know the source already and these small batch Signatory Vintage editions are always of the highest quality. Don't hesitate, as we only have a limited number of bottles available.

It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills.

This Macallan was distilled in 2011 and matured in Oloroso sherry casks for 12 years. It was bottled by Signatory Vintage in 2024 as part of their Small Batch series.

Signatory Vintage were established in 1988 by Andrew Symington and are one of Scotland's most prolific independent bottlers. Their offices and bottling facility are located next to Edradour distillery, which they have also owned since 2002.
