In 2009 Macallan released a special series that paid tribute to the venerable age of the distillery. Created by Macallan’s Bob Dalgarno, together with John Ramsay of Glenrothes fame (both distilleries being part of the Edrington group) it was coined the “Macallan 1824 Collection “ and boasted four non chill filtered whiskies, each with its own character at a range of price points.
However, to buy them you needed an airplane ticket. They were exclusively scheduled for the "Global Travel Retail” market (aka “TR”).
