Liqueur Whisky. Bottled by Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail in the early 1960s. 26 2\/3 Fl Ozs. 100 Proof. No box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistilled in the late 1940s and bottled by Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail in the early 1960s, this Macallan-Glenlivet 15 Year Old is an exceptionally rare example of post-war Macallan and a fascinating snapshot of the distillery during one of its most formative periods. Bottled at the traditional 100 Proof (57.1% ABV), it represents whisky produced when the distillery was still operating on a much smaller scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example features the highly desirable Securo cap, a closure used only briefly during the early 1960s. Despite its short production run, the Securo cap is widely regarded as one of the best seals fitted to a whisky bottle, renowned for preserving both fill levels and the condition of the spirit over many decades. Adding further period charm is the surviving original pre-decimal retail price sticker, marked '82\/6 ea' (82 shillings and sixpence each), equivalent to £4.12½ in decimal currency. A small but increasingly uncommon feature, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the bottle's original retail history. Together with the classic licensed distillery label and screen-printed decoration, these details firmly place this bottle amongst Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail's most collectible early releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhiskies distilled during the late 1940s are exceptionally scarce today, with relatively little spirit from the immediate post-war years surviving in original bottlings. Macallan from this era is particularly sought after, offering collectors the opportunity to own a piece of the distillery's early history, long before its rise to become one of the world's most celebrated single malt producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle comes from the remarkable collection we have been privileged to offer over the past several years and is the first example of this particular bottling that we have ever brought to auction. As such, its appearance on the open market represents a genuinely exceptional opportunity for collectors of historic Macallan and early Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58489996083581,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Macallan 15 Year Old - Liqueur Whisky - Gordon \u0026 MacPhail - Early 1960s - 100 Proof-Lot Id:0526-345","offer_id":58489996149117,"sku":"0526-345","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0526-345-1_10b553a5-7298-4b7a-bb29-93e58ce1ae57.jpg?v=1785963038","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/macallan-15-year-old-liqueur-whisky-gordon-macphail-early-1960s-100-proof-lot-id-0526-345","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
