The remarkable chapter in The Macallan’s history also created the most valuable bottle of wine or spirit ever sold at an auction.
In 1926, when the rich and fruity new-make Macallan spirit was poured into ex-sherry cask No 263 in Speyside, Scotland, no one would have guessed that one bottle would sell at Christie’s Auction in London on Nov 29, 2018, for a record-breaking £1.2 million – the first individual whisky to ever surpass £1 million.
Honouring this milestone in the distillery’s history, the brand has launched an eight-minute film titledThe Macallan – The Spirit of 1926 is a short film honouring Ms Janet Isabella Harbinson, the first female managing director of The Macallan. Video: The MacallanMs Harbinson – or more affectionately known as Nettie – was well-loved by The Macallan workers of the time.
“At its heart, this is a love story,” said Mr Jaume Ferras of The Spirit of 1926. The global creative director of The Macallan added: “It celebrates the love that Nettie had for her husband, her love for the local community, her love for nature and her love for the family business. She cared deeply about others and was determined to use her position at The Macallan to enrich the lives of those around her.
“There are some people who take what they do very seriously and care, not just about the product they’re producing, but about the people who work for them and what they are adding to the world,” the actress shared. “There’s something about that whisky, made under her watch in 1926, that symbolises the heart of the company and what The Macallan whisky is all about.”
