Tales Of The Macallan Volume 2

Tales of The Macallan Volume II is a rare single malt that carries the soul of Speyside and the story of its founder, Alexander Reid. Distilled in 1949 and bottled in 2022, this exceptional release marks The Macallan’s 200th anniversary with a whisky of extraordinary depth and character. At 44.8% ABV, it reveals layers of flavor that unfold like chapters in Reid’s own journey—from teacher to farmer to master distiller.

The whisky glows with bronzed oak tones, its nose alive with rich forest fruits, antique oak, woodsmoke, nutmeg, cinnamon, and treacle toffee. On the palate, flavors of black cherries, plum jam, dark chocolate orange, almond pastry, and ginger sponge mingle with sweet smoke and delicate tea leaves, creating an indulgent yet balanced complexity. The finish lingers long, carrying whispers of smoke and spice that echo the landscapes of Speyside.

Encased in a hand-crafted Lalique crystal decanter and accompanied by an 800-page tome illustrated by Andrew Davidson, this edition is more than a whisky—it is art, history, and legacy in a single creation. A collector’s treasure, Tales of The Macallan Volume II honors the pioneering spirit of Reid and offers an experience best savored neat, allowing its full elegance and storytelling character to shine.
