From the Producer

The Macallan is a Speyside single malt distillery founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid on the Easter Elchies estate near Craigellachie, and its water source is the River Spey. The distillery built its reputation on sherry-seasoned European oak casks from Jerez, a policy consolidated by the launch of the Fine & Rare vintage series in 2002. The Fine & Rare series was assembled by Macallan's then-warehousing director David Robertson and draws on casks laid down at the distillery from the late 1920s onward; the 1971 vintage is one of the headline late-20th century distillates of the series, offered in limited cask-numbered allocations to specialist channels and widely traded on the auction market. This single-cask bottling was laid down in 1971 and released at 30 years old under cask reference #7556.
