Macallan Creates The Ultimate Gift For Your Favourite Whisky Drinker

WHO SAYS "GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES"? HERE'S A BIG ONE FOR THE WHISKY DRINKER WHO HAS EVERYTHING

Those clever people at Macallan know how to drum up interest in their whisky. If you have a ton of money then this could be for you. Late last year, a cabinet containing a Macallan collection went on sale at Harrod's for £55,000 (approx US $107,500). Now this does seem rather excessive and maybe takes deluxe packaging to extremes. However, the cabinet was produced by master craftsman Viscount Linley, the nephew of HM Queen Elizabeth and is a one-off piece for Macallan made from English oak and burr oak.

The collection inside includes six single malt vintages from the Fine & Rare collection: 1937, 1940, 1948, 1955, 1966 and 1970 as well as six bespoke crystal LINLEY whisky tumblers, cigar humidor and a secret compartment which has become a signature feature of LINLEY furniture.

As of this week this handsome piece, with all its contents, was still on sale. So if you're favourite someone is a furniture and rare whisky fan, this is the one to go for - if you have a very healthy bank account.
