The Macallan Announces Distil Your World Mexico Single Cask Edition
The Macallan, in partnership with Sotheby’s, has unveiled Distil Your World Mexico 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 American oak sherry seasoned butt (Cask No. 1964) filled on February 10th, 2005 and bottled at 55% ABV, Distil Your World Mexico Single Cask Edition is described as having aromas of “pineapple, grapefruit, and apple with intense orange peel alongside the decadent richness of crème brulee and cinnamon spice.” The palate exhibits “mouthcoating viscosity through notes of creamy dulce de leche, cinnamon dusted churros, and almonds tumbled in caramelized sugar, balanced with rich vanilla pod and charred pineapple.” It concludes with a “long and sweet” finish of “tropical fruits, rich oak, and dark chocolate.”
Distil Your World Mexico Single Cask Edition is presented in a vibrant orange box featuring a marigold-themed interior design inspired by the Day of the Dead. The multi-component auction lot will also include an exclusive, bespoke artwork created by illustrator Alfredo Rios, who specializes in depicting nature and Mexican folklore.
The Macallan Distil Your World Mexico Single Cask Edition is estimated to close at $30,000-$80,000. Bidding for the sale began on Wednesday, March 5th and ends on Friday, March 21st. Proceeds from Sotheby’s auction will benefit Esperanza International, an organization dedicated to supporting home building and community development in Mexico.
