Macallan Fine & Rare Single Cask #11233 Whisky (1990 Vintage) — 30 Year Old

The Macallan Fine & Rare 1990 (Cask #11233) is a serious collector’s Macallan: a 30-year-old single cask release from one of the most prestigious (and tightly held) series the distillery produces. Distilled in 1990 and bottled at a bold natural cask strength (commonly cited as 54.9% ABV), it sits firmly in “blue-chip Speyside” territory — the kind of bottle that’s rarely seen in day-to-day retail and far more often encountered through premium auctions and specialist brokers.

- The profile described (honeyed citrus, vanilla, dark fruits, treacle and spice) is classic “luxury Macallan” with added intensity from natural strength.
- These bottles are typically traded at the top end of the market, with values often moving into the thousands (and sometimes far beyond) depending on condition, completeness, and current auction appetite.

Condition / Notes for Buyers
With Fine & Rare, presentation and provenance matter. Please check photos for fill level, label condition, capsule integrity, and—crucially—whether the original presentation box/case and any accompanying paperwork/booklet are included. If you confirm bottle size (usually 70cl) and packaging/condition details, I’ll lock the condition line to match your house style precisely.
