The Macallan Golden Age of Travel: The Aeroplane

The second release, and the first to leave the water. Distilled in 1937 and first bottled in 1972 at thirty-five years old, the whisky was re-presented in 2016 in a Lalique decanter drawn from the era when commercial flight was still an occasion rather than a commodity.

The Golden Age of Travel is a five-part series released by The Macallan in partnership with Lalique between 2015 and 2019, each expression presented in a Lalique crystal decanter evoking one mode of 1930s travel — sea, air, rail, road, and finally the airship. Each decanter is housed in a leather presentation case made by Piñavall of Ubrique, Spain, built in the manner of a period travel trunk. The series was released through global travel retail and The Macallan's boutiques.
