Liqueur Whisky. Bottled by Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail in the early 1960s. No size stated although equal to 75cl. 70 Proof. No box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistilled at Macallan in 1937 and bottled by Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail in the early 1960s, this remarkable vintage release captures one of the distillery's earliest and most sought-after eras. Presented under the historic Macallan-Glenlivet name, it was matured and bottled by Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail in Elgin, who for much of the 20th century acquired new-make spirit from Scotland's leading distilleries and matured it in their own warehouses before releasing it under licence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle is an excellent example of Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail's classic early 1960s presentation, complete with the distinctive Securo cap, a closure that was only used for a relatively brief period and helps date the bottle. Although only used for a short time, the Securo cap is widely regarded as one of the most effective closures ever fitted to a whisky bottle. Its superb seal has helped preserve liquid levels exceptionally well, making surviving examples particularly desirable to collectors. Bottled at the traditional strength of 70 Proof (40% ABV), it reflects an era long before metric labelling and modern packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMacallan spirit distilled during the 1930s is exceptionally scarce today, making bottles from this pre-war period among the most desirable in the distillery's history. Early Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail vintage bottlings such as this were produced in very limited quantities, and surviving examples rarely appear on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn incredibly rare survivor, this is the sort of bottle that many even seasoned whisky collectors will never have encountered. This example comes from the remarkable collection we've been auctioning over the last several years, and marks the first time we have ever had the opportunity to auction this particular Macallan 1937 vintage. Combining a pre-war distillation, an early 1960s bottling and one of Scotland's most celebrated distilleries, it stands as a truly exceptional piece of Scotch whisky history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58489988940157,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Macallan 1937 - Liqueur Whisky - Gordon \u0026 MacPhail - Early 1960s-Lot Id:0526-340","offer_id":58489989562749,"sku":"0526-340","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0526-340-1_7e3a3c38-7db4-4e6e-a4bf-5ddc5a49b132.jpg?v=1785962988","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/macallan-1937-liqueur-whisky-gordon-macphail-early-1960s-lot-id-0526-340","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
