Temptation...

[Treamayne]

Guess what I found in Seoul (Kang Nam - Business District) yesterday.......

A great little Cuban shop attached to a Whiskey, Wine and Brandy bar. In the bar area, amongst the rare bottle section was:

MaCallan Select Reserve 1946
(Label said Aged 56 Years)
Bottle Number 2943
Price....













5,000,000 Won ($4771.00 at the current exchange rate)

Lots of other stuff too, but this caught my eye and I thought you might want to Know. (drool)

About a 55% premium, you can find it for well under the $3000 list price if you look a little. The Whiskey Exchange has it for just under $2500 at the moment and Hi Time Wine has it for $2400.

Does this mean you have (had) it, or just know where to find it? And here I thought I found something special (knew it was too expensive)

If you're looking for the best prices on high-end booze and DON'T check first with AVB then you are a fool.

No, I haven't had it but I do know where to get it and even where to buy just one shot (@$200) if I so desired. The Rare version is the 56 yo version from 1946, that one is in the $4K range per bottle. There has been a number of fake old Macallan released that were certified by Macallan themselves so when you start looking at these bottles either for use or collecting it pays to do some serious research.

The oldest Macallan I've had was from 1961 and that shot was given tto me. About $500 a bottle is my limit unless it is very special like the 50yo Glenlivet I ran across at a killer price.

MaCallan Select Reserve 1946

That's the one I was talking about. I guessed on the 52 yrs because I forgot to write it down but knew it was over 50. I did write down the 1946 and bottle number though.

 

[AVB]

The 56 yo 1946 is much harder to find and the least I've seen that is about $3700. Still a $1K difference but I guess if you can spend that much to begin with $1K doesn't bother you as much as it would me or most other folks.

Didn't plan on buying... just noticed it and thought I'd get your opinion.

If I were your Secret Santa, I'd be lucky to afford WHite Owls and some Mad Dog 20/20.
