Prestige Singapore|April 2022

SASKIA ROBINSON
A HAND IN HISTORY

Whisky lovers around the world are no stranger to The Macallan, one of the world’s most collected whisky brands. Founded in 1824, the renowned Speyside distillery has faced its fair share of adversities in its almost 200-year-old history. With its latest release, The Macallan pays tribute to an extraordinary moment in time when its people beat the odds and embodied the unwavering spirit behind the brand that continues to live on.

The Reach is a rare 81-year-old single malt whisky – the oldest ever released by The Macallan. Crafted during some tough times during World War II, it was first poured into a sherry cask in 1940, shortly before The Macallan was forced to shut its doors for the first time ever. This special nectar is not only a testament to the care and commitment to uncompromised excellence driving The Macallan, but also an ode to the craftspeople who strived to resume distilling amid great obstacles.
