“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 Royal Marriage Whisky
Macallan are no strangers to limited edition and collaborative bottlings, and perhaps two of the most famous special edition bottles of Macallan are the Macallan Royal Marriage bottlings from 1981 and 2011 respectively. The two bottles were made to celebrate the marriages of Charles & Diana in 1981 and William & Kate in 2011, two royal couples that have left a lasting impact on British culture.
When Charles, (then Prince of Wales) and Lady Diana Spencer married in 1981 it was billed as a fairy-tale wedding. The big day cost a reported £57 million and was watched by 750 million people around the world. It was only fitting that Macallan mark the occasion with another limited edition bottling.
King Charles is the first son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, born in 1948. Lady Diana Spencer was born to John Spencer, Viscount Althorp and Frances Spencer, Viscountess Althorp on 1st July 1961. The couple were married on the 29th July 1981 at St Paul’s cathedral. What followed was a tumultuous marriage that eventually ended in separation in 1992 and divorce in 1996. The couple had two children, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge (b.1982) and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (b.1984). Diana was tragically killed in a car crash in Paris on August 31st 1997. Her death was met with mass public grief, and she remains one of the best-loved members of the Royal family to this day.
The Macallan Royal Marriage 1981 is a vatting of whisky from two vintages, 1948 and 1961, the years in which Charles & Diana were born. The whisky was bottled at 86 proof in a 750ml bottle and is a NAS (no age statement) bottling.
The second incarnation of the Macallan Royal Marriage was released in 2011 to celebrate the marriage of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine Middleton. Catherine Middleton captured the public imagination and earned many comparisons to her late mother-in-law. The wedding was a point of great national pride and was watched by 26 million people in the UK alone.
William and Kate met in 2001 as students at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland and became engaged in 2010. They married on 29th April 2011 in Westminster Abbey. The couple have three children together, George (b.2012), Charlotte (b.2015), and Louis (b.2018). Prince William is second-in-line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles.
The Macallan Royal Marriage 2011 is filled with whisky from two casks, one that was distilled on April 29th 1996, and one that was distilled on April 29th 1999, with April 29th being the date of the Royal Wedding.
