About this bottle
The Macallan 32 Year Old (1989) - The Intrepid Miniature is a highly collectible 5cl sample containing the exact same single malt whisky that set a Guinness World Record.
On 9 September 2021, a massive 1.8-metre-tall bottle named The Intrepid officially became the world's largest bottle of Scotch whisky, containing 311 litres of 32-year-old Macallan. The whisky itself was distilled at The Macallan Distillery in 1989 and matured in a pair of hogshead casks (#6986 and #6992) by Duncan Taylor and Fah Mai Holdings.
A selective number of 5cl (43% ABV) miniature bottles were distributed.
