Macallan Diamond Jubilee
The Macallan Diamond Jubilee was released in 2012 to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 60-year reign and featured a number of homages to Her Majesty, including being filled at 52% ABV as a reference to the year of Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne in 1952, and the whisky was drawn from its cask on February 8th, the date on which the Queen proclaimed her own accession 68 years ago.

What affects the value of Macallan Diamond Jubilee

The label
The label of the Macallan Diamon Jubilee is unmistakable. A cream label with a framed cameo of the Queen adorning the front, the label displays the text “60 Glorious Years” as well as the dates 1952-2012 at the top of the label, in tribute to 60 years of Elizabeth II as monarch.
If the label is torn, crumpled, peeling away, or sun or smoke damaged then this can affect what collectors will pay, as they know that if they hold out for another auction they may be able to buy a bottle in better condition.

The bottle
The Macallan Diamond Jubilee series is bottled in the new style Macallan bottle that features a triangular label at the base of the neck. The label contains the text “The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee”.
The condition of the bottle is vital to getting a fair price for your Macallan Diamond Jubilee. The capsule should not have any nicks in it and the label should be in good condition.

The box
The Macallan Diamond Jubilee bottlings come with an ornate purple box that is lined with satin and opens with a hinge on the side of the box. The box is embossed with the text “Celebrating Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee 2012”.
The condition of the box is also an important factor to consider. If the box is damaged then this will decrease the value of your Macallan Diamond Jubilee.

The level
As with all whisky, the spirit level in the neck of your Macallan Diamond Jubilee bottle is important and has a significant impact on the value. Ideally, the liquid should sit in the wide part of the neck. Lower levels, below the shoulder especially, will lower the value of the bottle.
When you are storing your bottle please consider adding an additional seal – clingfilm or a specialist seal such as Parafilm – over the capsule. This will help stop the level dropping. Always store your bottle upright and in a cool place out of direct sunlight.

The Queen’s cameo
Something else that affects the price of the Macallan Diamond Jubilee is the condition of the framed cameo of the Queen that adorns the front of the bottle. This is a stand-out feature of the bottle, and so the value of the bottle will drop if the ornate picture is damaged in any way. It should not be loose or chipped in any way. It is also better if the framed cameo is kept clean.

A fun fact:
Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne on February 6th, 1952 as The Accession Council met on that morning to confirm the accession of the new Queen following the death of her father in the early hours of that morning. However, the accession was not truly made official until February 8th, 1952, when Elizabeth herself made a personal declaration in the presence of her husband, The Duke of Edinburgh, and Commonwealth representatives. As such, the Macallan Diamond Jubilee celebrates the accession on February 8th.

Friendly professional service... throughout.
Excellent company.read more
Account Manager Hannah... Thompson completed the transaction faultlessly throughout. She was quick to establish which were the highly collectable bottles and which I would just have to enjoy drinking. I had a very good idea which bottles would fetch the best price and Hannah confirmed that for me. After putting the bottles to their database of clients, I soon had a best offer which stacked up against other vendors. On accepting the offer a courier delivered all the packing boxes the following day and we dropped everything packed to the post office. Hannah confirmed receipt and a couple of days later Mark called to confirm that he had just sent the proceeds to me - All very painless!
Many companies make a lot of promises these days but never quite deliver - Mark Littler is very much the exception!read more
