Exploring the most exciting vintage whiskies in The Legacy Collection

The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection

The Van Winkle line of whiskeys needs little introduction. Praised by celebrities and the subject of a bestselling book, it is by far the best recognized and most sought after whiskey in America. The brand has its roots in a distillery called Stitzel-Weller, located just outside Louisville and overseen by a businessman named Julian Van Winkle, known affectionately as Pappy. Opened on Derby Day in 1935, it produced exclusively wheated bourbon.

The Legacy Collection, while characterized by its wealth of Fine &amp; rare bottles from The Macallan, is equally defined by the extent of its rarities from different regions around Scotland and the world. Indeed, there are many bottles from some of the most famous distilleries in Ireland, Japan and the USA.

The Legacy Collection is one of the most exciting whisky ensembles ever to come to auction at Sotheby’s. This auction exclusively comprises bottles from a single collection accrued through painstaking dedication. Headlining the sale is one of the fullest verticals of The Macallan Fine &amp; Rare ever to come to auction, featuring the elusive 1957 vintage bottling. These lots are further supported by rare bottles from The Balvenie, The Dalmore, Midleton and rare whiskeys from the Van Winkle canon. This collector spent many years building a truly staggering collection, and consuming many bottles on the way. The lots in this sale were collected by Sotheby’s amongst many bottles of Macallan Fine &amp; Rare and Lalique Six Pillars that had previously been consumed. The Legacy Collection is not only one that staggers through its range and value, but one that was built by a true connoisseur.
