The purchase of The Macallan 18 Year Old Vertical Collection, comprising 29 bottles, comes three months after a record-breaking US$500,000 sale of the Macallan Fine and Rare collection in December 2016 at the same store, owned by Maritime & Mercantile International (MMI).
“This exciting sale really demonstrates Le Clos and Macallan’s strong partnership, as well as Le Clos’ ability to be the trusted retailer to bring rare and collectable products to market,” said Iain Delaney, chief operating officer, MMI.
“It further demonstrates the commitment and enthusiasm of the whole Le Clos team to deliver exceptional products, knowledge, and service to all their customers.”
Florence Chevallier, commercial manager of Edrington Middle East & Africa Travel Retail, added: “This is another stunning success by Le Clos, our trusted partner in bringing The Macallan – the world’s highest value single malt – to collectors from around the world. We look forward to the success to come as our partnership with Le Clos continues to go from strength to strength.”
Peter Allison, brand ambassador for The Macallan, said the 18-year-old expression is “arguably one of the most iconic whiskies in the world”.
“Fully matured in sherry seasoned oak casks, its signature flavour profile of dried fruit and baking spices resonates with connoisseurs that are searching for something special to add to their collection,” he continued.
“With an annual release, The Macallan 18 has become highly coveted, and a sale like this by Le Clos illustrates the appeal of The Macallan both within the region, and also internationally.”
