Where it comes from

The makers
behind the bottle

The distillery

Macallan

Craigellachie, Speyside, Scotland

The Macallan is a renowned single malt Scotch whisky distillery founded in 1824 in the Speyside region of Scotland. It’s especially famous for its use of sherry-seasoned oak casks, which give its whiskies rich flavors of dried fruit, spice, and chocolate. Its popularity has surged in recent years due to high demand among collectors and investors, limited releases, and the prestige of its aged expressions, making it both a sought-after luxury drink and a status symbol in the whisky world.

The bottler

Douglas Laing

Scotland

Douglas Laing & Co is a family-owned independent bottler and blender of Scotch whisky, founded in 1948 and based in Glasgow. They are known for sourcing single casks and cask-strength whiskies from distilleries across Scotland, bottling them under a variety of labels such as Old Particular, Provenance, and Xtra Old Particular. Douglas Laing has a strong reputation for quality, variety, and collector-friendly releases, offering both classic expressions and experimental or rare casks that appeal to enthusiasts worldwide.

Excise duties

Added for delivery inside the EU

Excise duty is a tax on alcohol, separate from VAT, and it rises with the alcohol in the bottle. Each EU country sets its own rates, so if you live in the EU and win this lot, the duty of the destination country is added to your invoice. This is not optional.

Buying from outside the EU? Then no excise duty is added: the customs of your country take care of it.
