To prove the authenticity of the signature, we actually published this on Twitter back in 2017, tagged Mr MacLean, and then he even gave our post a like. Check the pictures displayed here, one with the bottle on Twitter and a second picture showing that the like came from Mr MacLean. We’re happy to also provide Mr MacLean’s email address for the authenticity of his signature.
The bottle alone is worth ¥30’000. To have one of the world Whisky Legends make his mark on this bottle adds a fair chunk to it.
