The Macallan Announces Distil Your World New York Single Cask Edition
The Macallan, in partnership with Sotheby’s, has unveiled Distil Your World New York Single Cask Edition for auction.
This single cask bottling from The Macallan’s Distil Your World series is limited to just two bottles – one for Sotheby’s auction and one for The Macallan’s archive.
Matured in a single European Oak Sherry Puncheon from 2002 and bottled at 55% ABV, Distil Your World New York Single Cask Edition is described as having aromas of “peanut brittle, candy, sweet oak, and poached pear, with a hint of cherry blossom.” The palate exhibits notes of “chocolate covered peanuts with syrup sponge, raisins, sweet oak, and lemon peel.” It concludes with a “medium sweet” finish of “peanut and oak.”
Distil Your World New York Single Cask Edition is presented in a blue box featuring an engraved aerial map of New York and a booklet about the bottle and Distil Your World New York series that is signed by the talent featured in the Distil Your World New York documentary that aired with the release of the original bottle. The auction lot also includes a dining experience at El Celler de Can Roca for the winning bidder and three guests.
The Macallan Distil Your World New York Single Cask Edition is estimated to close at $30,000-$80,000. Bidding for the sale began on Monday, January 30th and ends on Friday, February 10th. Proceeds from Sotheby’s auction will benefit ChaShaMa, a non-profit arts organization based in New York City.
