Macallan As We Get It 104 Proof J.G. Thomson Bottling, 1980s (1X 75cl) Region: Highland, single malt Fill Level: into neck Capsule: good condition Label: staining Alcohol content: 59.9% ABV Footnotes: 'As We Get It' is exactly as the name suggests - a whisky bottled directly from the cask at natural strength, without reduction, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the spirit in its purest and most uncompromising form. This rare No-Age-Statement Speyside single malt was distilled at The Macallan and bottled during the 1980s by J.G. Thomson & Co. Ltd at a formidable 104 proof (59.9% ABV). Bottlings of this nature from The Macallan are exceptionally scarce today, particularly examples from the era prior to the distillery's rise as one of the world's most collectible whisky brands. Produced at a time when cask strength bottlings remained relatively uncommon within the market, releases such as this have become increasingly sought after by collectors for both their rarity and their authenticity. The whisky offers a glimpse into an earlier style of Macallan production, celebrated for its rich, robust spirit character and classic sherried Speyside profile. Independent and merchant bottlings from this period are particularly prized amongst enthusiasts, reflecting a bygone era of Scotch whisky where natural presentation and high-strength bottlings were often reserved for knowledgeable private customers and specialist retailers. There are minor age spots and areas of slight discolouration to the label, consistent with the age of the bottle, though these do little to detract from the rarity, historical significance, and collector appeal of this bottling.
