In 2020 we sold a vertical of Macallan 18 year old for Matthew Robson for £44,000!
The story went viral being covered from the BBC, to India, to the USA.
Matthew had been given a bottle every year from his father as a birthday gift and at the time of sale amounted to 28 bottles, all with their original boxes.

It was a pleasure to work with Matthew, assisting him in obtaining the highest possible amount for his collection. Now, let us use our experience and connections to assist you.
“I was looking to sell my whisky collection of 28 bottles of Macallan 18 year old to fund the purchase of my first house, so I got in touch with Mark.
My father gave me 1 bottle each year for a birthday present so that by the time that I was 18 I would have 18 bottles of 18 year old Macallan. (Yes I’m that guy who was plastered over the media)
Mark did a great job of getting professional photos taken of them and creating a PR buzz around the collection and I even ended up on BBC breakfast news, lad bible, and various radio stations around the world.
At one point my story was the second most viewed story on BBC world wide news app for the whole weekend with over 2 million views.
Needless to say within a day or two of this PR Campaign there was numerous offers.
I would like to thank Mark for all his work and helping me with everything.”

The History Of Macallan 18-Year-Old Whisky
The Macallan 18 Year Old series is the longest ongoing series by Macallan. To build a vertical of Macallan 18 Year Olds is a dream held by many whisky collectors and investors alike, with vintages beginning in 1966 and running until Macallan switched to using bottling dates in 2016.
When the Macallan 18 Year Old series first began, Glenlivet had more status within the industry than Macallan did. As such, older Macallan bottlings state that the whisky was distilled at “Macallan-Glenlivet”. This is hard to believe considering Macallan’s position in the market today. It is thanks to series such as The Macallan 18 Year Olds that Macallan has such stature today. At a time when blended malts dominated the market, Macallan laid down casks and left them to age in preparation for the age of the single malt.
Beginning in 1985, the boxes of the Macallan 18 Year Olds have the instantly recognisable blue strip along the bottom of the box, and a watercolour painting of Macallan’s Easter Elchies House. The vintage is displayed in gold foiling in the middle of the label, and the bottling date is printed at the bottom in black, bold lettering. The neck label on these bottles also displays the age statement of the whisky.
The Macallan 18 Year Olds have gone through a number of packaging changes over the years, with each version of the packaging being uniquely recognisable. In 1992, the standard bottle volume was changed from 75cl to 70cl.
These bottles are a great birthday or anniversary gift, with a wide range of vintages and bottling dates available.
