MACALLAN SLEEPING BARREL ICE BUCKET FOR THE CROWN HOTEL
MACALLAN SLEEPING BARREL ICE BUCKET There are few distilleries in the world quite so revered as Macallan. Nestled in the heart of the Speyside region, the rich spirit that runs from their “curiously small stills”, and their penchant for Spanish Sherry casks have proven to be a match made in Heaven, delighting the tastebuds of whisky connoisseurs around the globe. With demand far outstripping supply, they embarked upon one of the most ambitious distillery upgrades of all time, investing £140 million in an ultra-modern still house and visitor centre that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, and is home to a whopping 36 stills capable of churning out around 15 million litres of spirit every year. Even so, getting your hands on a bottle can still be tricky, with new releases selling out as soon as they hit the shelves, and older examples regularly setting records at auction.Condition Report The golf club appears to have been glued to the arm of the barrel at one point, but it is no longer attached. The head of the club is slightly bent, as is common with these ice buckets. There are also white paint specks on the outsize of the bucket (mostly on the lid). Please see additional photos.
