The Macallan 1946 Select Reserve Tasting Dinner
There’s one rule for collectible Scotch: never drink it.
Chelsea Wine Vault is about to break that rule. At an exclusive dinner, we will open and pour The Macallan 1946 Select Reserve, a rare 52-year-old Scotch worth over $20,000. There are no other bottles of this whisky for sale in the US, so it’s no exaggeration to call this a once-in-a-lifetime event.
This event will be hosted by Craig Bridger, Brand Ambassador for The Macallan and David Hunter, General Manager and Wine Buyer of Chelsea Wine Vault. Twelve lucky guests will taste The Macallan 1946 Select Reserve at this guided tasting and dinner. The Macallan Rare Cask will be the house spirit for the evening, paired with a three-course dinner by Robert Bleifer, Executive Chef of Food Network.
Other rare vintage Macallans will be available for sale after the event, including bottlings like The Macallan 25th Anniversary Edition 1957 25 Year Old, The Macallan 1962 25 Year Old, Macallan 1950 30 Year Old, and Macallan Gran Reserva 1979 18 Year Old.
Most collectors would never dream of opening their antique bottles, because their main value lies in their pristine state. But whisky is made to be opened, to be sipped and savored, and it’s only natural to want to taste a particularly rare bottle.
