A £55,000 drinks cabinet with some of the world’s rarest whisky goes on sale today at Harrods.

Custom built for The Macallan, the ‘one of a kind’ LINLEY drinks cabinet will contain six single malt vintages from the Fine & Rare collection: 1937, 1940, 1948, 1955, 1966 and 1970.

Handcrafted from English Oak and Burr Oak, the drinks cabinet also includes six bespoke crystal LINLEY whisky tumblers, cigar humidor and a secret compartment which has become a signature feature of LINLEY furniture.

The extraordinary expressions of vintage Macallan from the Fine & Rare collection are each carefully selected for their unsurpassed quality and rarity – representing the finest single malt from that year. Each bottle has a wonderful diversity of colour from light beech through to dark walnut, with aromas and tastes ranging from the lightly peated vintages to those with fresh floral aromas or rich sherried flavours.

The range is so highly sought after that many are only available through private sale via
auction houses or whisky collectors.

The Macallan and LINLEY cabinet will be sold in a World of Whisky and Watches evening on Thursday 13 December hosted at By Appointment at Harrods from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
