The Macallan has released its oldest whiskey to date, an 81-year-old single malt called 'The Reach,' priced at $125,000 each.

It's common to hear about single malts that are 12 or 18 years old. But what about an 81-year-old whiskey? That is a first! And Macallan is presenting it to connoisseurs with the release of its latest – 'The Reach,' which has been aging since 1940.

'The Reach,' a World War II survivor, is one year older than a Glenlivet 80-year-old (also bottled in 1940) that was billed as the world's oldest single malt whiskey. It was bottled again last year in preparation for its release this month.

Each whiskey bottle is made of blown glass and features a bronze sculpture of three hands designed by sculptor Saskia Robinson. The decanters are even "indented with subtle fingerprints that match the hands that hold it," according to the brand.
