Age statement
A 21-year age statement signals extended maturation, which limits how much was ever bottled.
Named / limited release
Released as Macallan 1974 21 Year Old Hart Brothers, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.
These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
