The Macallan 72 Year Old in Lalique Genesis Decanter is a monumental release — the oldest whisky ever bottled by The Macallan to date. Distilled in the 1940s and aged for over seven decades in hand-selected sherry-seasoned oak casks, this release symbolizes The Macallan’s genesis of craftsmanship, unveiled in 2018 to celebrate the opening of the new Macallan Distillery in Speyside.
Encased in a breathtaking Lalique crystal decanter designed to reflect the architectural beauty of the new distillery, the whisky itself is nothing short of art — a shimmering, golden-amber spirit exuding layers of oak spice, rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, honeyed fig, and soft smoke.
With only 600 decanters worldwide, the Macallan 72 Year Old Genesis stands among the most sought-after collector releases in whisky history. Its legacy and artistry make it a defining opportunity for connoisseurs who buy Macallan whisky online, invest in rare whisky, and shop luxury whisky that transcends generations.
According to Forbes, the Macallan 72YO “represents the absolute peak of luxury in whisky collecting.” Meanwhile, Whisky Advocate calls it “a triumph of art, craftsmanship, and maturation — a whisky of deep emotional resonance.”
For those looking to purchase collectible whisky or buy rare Scotch online, the Genesis Decanter is the definition of an exclusive Scotch investment. Its presence at Sotheby’s Rare Whisky Auctions and Christie’s Luxury Sales confirms its global prestige and demand among elite investors.
