700ml | 44.4% ABV | Natural Color | Non-Chill Filtered | 1 of 470 Bottles

The Dawn of a Legendary Collaboration

The Macallan 50 Lalique marked the beginning of one of the most celebrated partnerships in whisky history—between The Macallan and French crystal maker Lalique. Distilled in 1960 and bottled in 2011, this 50-year-old single malt represents the golden era of Macallan distillation. Consequently, it launched a series that redefined luxury whisky. Moreover, with only 470 bottles released, it remains a cornerstone of elite collections.

Five Decades in Sherry Oak

Matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned European oak casks, this whisky developed extraordinary depth and balance over half a century. In fact, the Macallan 50 Lalique captures the rich, fruity, and spicy character that made vintage Macallan legendary—before modern peating and cask experimentation.

Opulent, Silky, and Timelessly Elegant

Bottled at 44.4% ABV, this expression delivers profound richness with remarkable finesse. As a result, it layers fig, prune, and dark chocolate over cinnamon, clove, and antique oak. Additionally, the extreme age imparts a waxy, velvety texture that defines its luxurious mouthfeel.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals dried apricot, beeswax, and orange marmalade, followed by leather, nutmeg, and a whisper of tobacco. Then, subtle notes of roasted almond and dark honey emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is sumptuous and full. Flavors of plum, toffee, baking spice, and polished wood unfold with grace. The alcohol integrates seamlessly, adding warmth without weight.

Finally, the finish is eternal—dried herbs, cocoa, and a haunting echo of history. Altogether, it’s a majestic and contemplative dram that honors the vision of this Macallan 50 Lalique.

A Sculptural Masterpiece

Housed in a hand-blown Lalique crystal decanter inspired by The Macallan’s “Six Pillars” (the foundation of its whisky-making), this bottle is a work of art. The decanter rests in a solid oak case crafted by Scottish artisans. Therefore, the Macallan 50 Lalique is as much a collector’s sculpture as a whisky—destined for museums and connoisseurs.
