The Macallan Robert Burns Semiquincentenary (1x 70cl) Region: Speyside, single malt Fill Level: filled to 70cl Capsule: good condition Label: good labelling Packaging: in original wooden presentation box Alcohol content: 46% ABV Notes: Limited release only 250 bottles, Footnotes: The Macallan Robert Burns 250th Anniversary is an exceptionally rare and highly collectible limited release created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Scotland's National Bard, Robert Burns (1759-2009). Combining Scottish literary heritage with one of the world's most revered whisky distilleries, the bottling represents a unique tribute to two enduring icons of Scottish culture. For this special release, The Macallan's Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno selected spirit from two individual casks - one distilled in 1997 and one in 1998 - both carrying the symbolic cask number #1759, a direct reference to the birth year of Robert Burns. The carefully chosen casks were married to create a whisky intended to reflect both rarity and significance, resulting in one of the distillery's most exclusive commemorative bottlings. Only 250 bottles were produced worldwide, further enhancing the release's scarcity and desirability amongst collectors. The whisky was originally presented in a specially commissioned presentation box featuring imagery of Robert Burns, accompanied by a map of 'Burns Country' and a poem by the celebrated Scottish poet, reinforcing the strong connection between whisky, Scottish heritage, and national identity. Combining extremely limited production, symbolic cask selection, exceptional presentation, and the enduring global collectability of The Macallan, this bottling has become a near-mythical modern release and a prized addition to serious whisky collections.
