While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. But I am very, very glad that I had Dad's voice ringing in my head.It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends.

"So it would be my 18th birthday, I would have 18 bottles of 18-year old Macallan." "The idea was that when I turned 18, if Dad got a bottle each year, the bottle I would receive on my 18th birthday would be distilled in 1991, which would obviously be the year of my birth," Robson said. He's received one every year since, as has his older brother and younger sister on their birthdays. Robson, who lives in Taunton, England, received his first gift of whisky, distilled in 1974, when he was just a baby. Whisky broker Mark Littler, who sold the collection, told the BBC it was a "perfect set." A sentimental tradition "The deal was I never ever, ever even think about opening them," Robson told As It Happens host Carol Off. Now 28 years old, Robson has sold his complete collection for £44,000 ($75,570 Cdn). He estimates his father spent about £5,000 ($8,590. Cdn) on the bottles over the years.
