About this bottle
The Macallan 1951 Miniature released in 2001 served as a direct precursor to the legendary Macallan Fine & Rare series, which officially launched the following year in 2002, drawn at 48.8% ABV from sherry butts #1541 and #1542—is highly significant to whisky collectors because the Fine & Rare series borrowed heavily from its visual aesthetic and minimalist label style.
