anticipated demand for the whisky. Entry

Hot on the heels of a ballot sale for
a cask of
Caskshare Springbank 30 Year Old,
which saw over 600 people sign up to buy
one of 135 £1.6k bottles, Caskshare has
released a ballot for a single cask malt
that is set to be even hotter property:
The Macallan 30 Year Old.
One hundred and eighty bottles of the
rare Macallan 30 Year Old single cask
single malt are now on sale at £2,850
each. It should be one for fans of a
sherried Macallan, it is currently
maturing in a first-fill Sherry cask,
the 30 year-old expression is due to be
bottled in May 2023, bearing one of the
highest single-cask ABV's on the market,
currently at 51.5%.
According to a recent report by
investment bank Noble & Co, The
Macallan, produced by Famous Grouse
owner Edrington, is the number one brand
for both volume and value in the
secondary market. Using data collected
from over 580,000 whisky auction
transactions over the last decade, the
report also shows a 21% increase in the
value of fine and rare single malts in
2022, with the volume of bottles sold
increasing by 23%. In October, a single
bottle of The Macallan 80 Year Old sold
at auction in Sotheby’s for £300,000.
John Robertson, MD of Caskshare, said:
"The Macallan is undoubtedly one of the
most aspirational single malt whiskies,
with a global reputation for quality and
provenance. It’s really not often that a
cask of such rarity comes up and we’re
expecting it to be hugely sought-after
by both connoisseurs and collectors."
