Footnote
Note: Regarded by some as one of the most sought-after special editions by Macallan, the Private Eye bottling is known for its rich dark chocolate and fruity flavour profile - synonymous with sherried Macallan expressions from the 1960s. Celebrating 35 years of the renowned satirical publication, each bottle features a vibrant label, designed by the magazine's illustrator Ralph Steadman. This vatting of 5000 bottles included a 1961 cask, marking the year Private Eye was founded.
