The Macallan in Lalique Curiously Small Stills decanter follows on from the success of the first three stunning decanters.

This time around sees the decanter filled with an exceptionally rare 60 years old Macallan single malt whisky.

Designed and created by the legendary French crystal house Lalique, exclusively for The Macallan, the Curiously Small Stills edition is limited to 400 individually numbered decanters, making it a highly collectable and desirable item.

David Cox, director of fine and rare whiskies for The Macallan, commented: "Our relationship with Lalique goes from strength to strength and this fourth collaboration further reinforces our very strong partnership.

"The Six Pillars, those elements which combine to give this great single malt its distinctive quality and character, continue to provide the inspiration for these stunning decanters.

"The addition of the Curiously Small Stills decanter continues this fascinating journey through the heart of The Macallan.

"The stills themselves are the smallest on Speyside, concentrating the spirit to create The Macallan’s rich, fruity, full-bodied flavours. Over the years, we have drawn on the some of its oldest and rarest stocks to create extraordinary examples of this great single malt for connoisseurs and collectors alike."

"This 60 years old Macallan, which was drawn from five sherry butts, made from a mix of Spanish and American oak, was filled on 9th and 10th November 1950."
