Released June 2013 as one of a twin set to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation, this one of the two 350ml bottles was matured in American oak sherry seasoned casks while the other was matured in Spanish oak sherry casks. Disappointingly neither carries an age statement.

Designed by Art Director, David Holmes, each of the two bottles features a different image of The Queen, the American oak carries a photograph taken in 1953 by Cecil Beaton and the Sherry oak features a 2004 photograph by Julian Calder. Only 1953 on the twin packs were produced, available only directly from Macallan.
