It is the oldest official release in the distillery's history, crafted from a single sherry-matured oak cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whisky embodies both resilience and artistry. Its serene maturation, spanning eight decades, contrasts with the turbulent era in which it was distilled, making it a living testament to The Macallan's tradition and strength of character. The presentation is as extraordinary as the liquid itself: a hand-blown glass decanter held by three bronze hands, sculpted by artist Saskia Robinson. These hands symbolize the contributions of Master Whisky Kirsteen Campbell, former Macallan Chairman Allan Shiach, and distillery workers in 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decanter is housed in a custom-made cabinet, crafted from the wood of a fallen elm tree planted on the Macallan estate in 1940, the same year the whisky was distilled. This combination of craftsmanship, history, and rarity elevates The Reach from a collector's item to a true cultural artifact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reach is among the most coveted \"trophy bottles\" in the world of fine spirits, destined for private collections, vaults, and museums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zaphira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61006447083850,"sku":null,"price":327000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/5095\/4314\/files\/Macallan81yearsold1940TheReach.webp?v=1770061434","url":"https:\/\/zaphiragroup.com\/products\/the-macallan-81-years-1940-the-reach","provider":"Zaphira","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
