Macallan Rare Cask (2024 Release) (70cl, 43%)
A rare and special discovery, this single malt is created from rare casks of The Macallan to have an entirely natural deep ruby mahogany colour, an intense sweet raisin flavour and a rich velvety mouthfeel.
The Rare Cask 2024 Release is released with limited availability worldwide.
Seeking the Exceptional
Every cask of exceptional single malt whisky maturing at The Macallan Estate has its own personality, with little nuances which make them unique.
From time to time our whisky makers come across casks maturing in warehouses which stand out from the others in a very particular way.
These hand-selected casks are a rare and special discovery.
Rare Cask is created from oak casks which exhibit incredibly rich, smooth complexity, highlighted through a sweet raisin note. These rare casks of The Macallan have an entirely natural deep ruby mahogany colour, and an intense and highly complex flavour profile.
Discovering the parallels between sound, aroma, flavour and colour explored through the shared element of wood, for this release we came together with renowned musician, Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds, to explore a sensorial world.
Charlie’s ability to identify rare tasting notes such as raisin, is similar to how he both composes and plays music. He explores how Rare Cask might sound through working with a Luthier in the South of Spain to create a guitar crafted from the same European Oak wood as The Macallan Casks are crafted from.
Together, we discover the core synergies of a great creation, and how interactions with a work of art in both realms of music and the craft of whisky making aren’t so distant from one another.

Macallan Home Collection River Spey 70cl, 44.8%
The second release in The Macallan Home Collection is a tribute to our extraordinary Estate, inspired by the natural beauty of The Macallan’s birthplace and the River Spey.
The stunning painting on the front of the pack is the work of photo-realist artist Michelle Lucking, and captures the River Spey in its majestic winter beauty. The Spey, which flows gently through our Estate, is an enduring source of inspiration and an essential part of our whisky-making process. We are proud custodians of our 1.5-mile stretch of the river, protecting its waters and the wildlife around it.
Michelle works with her fingers to bring her subjects, most often water, to life. She has used natural pigmented pastels to create a collection of six original pastel paintings of the River Spey, three of which are included in the art folio. The colours she has chosen echo the earthy hues of umber, russet and gold found within our whiskies.

Macallan 1874 Replica First Release (70cl, 45%)
1874 Replica
The story behind the controversial Replica series began in the early 2000s when a surprising number of 19th century Macallans began appearing on the second-hand market. Keen to rediscover a part of its history, the distillery snapped up as many as they could from auction and private collectors. Shortly afterward, they announced their intention to release a series of replicas that recreated the style and flavour of these antique expressions.
At the same time, a few eyebrows were being raised by prominent members of the whisky community, who weren’t entirely convinced of the authenticity of these supposed relics. Bowing to pressure, Macallan sent samples away to be carbon dated, but proceeded to release the replicas anyway. Eventually the distillery admitted that the tests showed the whiskies they’d sampled were indeed fake. Despite this revelation, or possibly because of It, the Replica series has become increasingly collectible.

Macallan 1851 Inspiration (70cl, 41.3%)
Macallan 1851 Inspiration
Macallan 1851 Inspiration is the final bottle in the set of 5 of Macallan’s famous ‘Replica’ series, the 1851 edition which was bottled in the 2000s. The set of 5 bottles have an interesting back story and include The Macallan Distillers Limited (as it was known at the time) buying a number of old and rare bottles during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
These old bottles were then used as the source to create the replica series where Macallan tried to replicate the nose, the taste and the packaging of some of their bottles from earlier times. They drew a tiny sample from the bottle and together with his team of expert nosers, began to search for whisky which matches the profile.
As well as replicating the whisky they were determined to recreate the 1851 bottle and labels. The challenge for Stolzle Flaconnage was to reproduce the idiosyncratic irregularities of a mid-19th-century mouth-blown bottle with 21st-century technology. To reconstruct the labels, calligrapher Carol Kemp re-drew the individual letters while illustrator Brian Taylor reproduced the sketch.’
This highly collectable, limited release Macallan 1851 Inspiration Replica bottling was designed to recreate the spirit and overall style of Macallan as of 1850s.
Inspired by the production from their own history, Macallan released this bottled based on what they would have been doing in 1851. The bottles were handmade and the corks were placed by hand. As a final touch, the bottles were sealed by wax by hand-dipping.

Macallan M Decanter 2023 Edition 70cl, 45%
The epitome of Natural Color, it is the result of our commitment to craftsmanship and the use of the finest, 100% natural ingredients.
M is one of the darkest whiskeys we create. Aged in a small, hand-picked number of sherry oak casks, it proudly showcases The Macallan’s rich natural color.
DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
The Macallan M, 2022 release, one of The Macallan’s darkest expressions, highlights a rare selection of irreplaceable casks. Long exposure to sherry oak has produced a deep and brooding single malt.
This rare and exclusive spirit embodies transparency, as the quality of the whiskey glitters in the Lalique crystal decanter that encloses our naturally dark spirit. A personification of the rich influence that sherry-aged oak barrels have on the spirit within.
MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS AND RICH HERITAGE
The spirit is presented in a pristine crystal decanter. Individually numbered, it is a masterpiece by Lalique, the doyen of French glassmaking since 1888. The decanter’s six facets reflect and refract light, bringing the dark whiskey to life.
The inspiration comes from the six cornerstones of The Macallan, namely the winery, our curious little stills, the exceptional oak barrels, the sherry wine, the natural color and the mastery. Together they form the basis for the renowned quality and rich character of our whiskey.
A CELEBRATION OF MASTERSHIP
The carafe was designed by creative guru Fabien Baron, whose vision combines aesthetic expression with commercial art at its finest. His dramatic concept challenged Lalique considerably. The vessel’s sculptural geometry takes the craft of crystal glass into new territory, a vision for the future created with respect for the glories of the past.
A darkness full of promise. a light that sparkles in the sun. There is no better expression for single malt and modern crystal glasses that could complement each other.

A MOST COMPLEX RELEASE
Rare, black ended casks holding peated whisky have been meticulously selected to create this unique expression. The smoke-infused spirit matured in these sherry seasoned oak casks has gathered distinction and depth over decades.
Our Whisky Mastery Team have used this rare peat note to create an extraordinary whisky, continuing to push the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship. An affectionate history of a whisky, it expressively chronicles bygone crafts of the generations that made it. Those lucky to meet it will never forget their rendezvous.
Subtly smoky and brooding it may be, but the whisky possesses the spark and breeding of a true Macallan. In its honour, its new home is hand crafted from black Lalique crystal.
The Macallan M Black is utterly unique. Precious, peat infused single malt, Lalique finesse and lateral creativity are married seamlessly. This remarkable release is truly one to cherish.
The Macallan M embodies Natural Colour, reflecting our dedication to mastery and craftsmanship. We are committed to using the finest, 100% natural ingredients and exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks. A rare spirit epitomising transparency, the whisky glistens in a handcrafted Lalique crystal decanter. The six facets of the decanter reflect and refract light, bringing the dark, burnished whisky to life.
M was matured in a small number of hand-selected casks, proudly showcasing our rich Natural Colour, while the transparent decanter reflects honesty as there is no artificial colouring. Prolonged contact with the sherry seasoned oak casks have burnished the deep and brooding single malt; The Macallan M presents a chord of rich flavour notes. With an amber hue, M reveals the Distillery’s classic sherry seasoned, full-flavoured character imparting notes of chocolate, rich dried fruit and spice.

TWO WORLDS. ONE CREATION.
The story of The Macallan Litha begins in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, where our exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks – the greatest single contributor to our outstanding flavour and natural colour – are crafted to our exacting specification.
The journey of our exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks begins in the vineyards of Jerez de la Frontera where the Andalucian sun grows the grapes that go on to become sherry, which seasons our casks. They continue their journey to The Macallan Estate, in Scotland, where they are filled with The Macallan fruity new make spirit and the meeting of two worlds begins.
The whisky derives its name from the solstice, known by the ancient Celts as Litha. It is an extraordinary single malt which captures our unwavering dedication to uncompromised excellence, and the powerful synergy that occurs when two forces come together.
Kirsteen Campbell
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
Litha means light and it was the name that the Celts gave to the summer solstice.
The solstice is a tipping point. When two forces meet for the first time, it sparks a shift in the balance of nature. It is a powerful instant, an eternal first encounter that changes everything. It makes the days longer, bringing new light, new life, and it has been celebrated since antiquity by countless cultures across the world.

DESCRIPTION PRODUCT INFORMATION
The oak casks used for The Macallan Colour Collection 15 Years Old are seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
With flavours of citrus, vanilla and baked peaches, the whisky is a natural beech colour – the outcome of our new make spirit and exceptional oak casks working harmoniously together over the years.
THE COLOURS OF JEREZ
Warmth emanates through this piece, from the soft orange brushstrokes evoking the orchards of Jerez de la Frontera – echoed in the shade of the wave pattern designed by Artist and Graphic Designer David Carson to the repetition of the bottle and the whisky inside.
This composition, with its dense collage of sliced and ripped forms and typography, is quintessential David Carson, who transformed the graphic design industry by rejecting the notion that text and images should be placed within a specified grid.
COLOUR COLLECTION 18 YEARS OLD
The Collection is a celebration of The Macallan’s commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning. The Colour Collection 18 Years Old offers a whisky that has undergone maturation in American oak casks, enhanced by a delicate touch of European oak.
DESCRIPTION PRODUCT INFORMATION
The oak casks used for The Macallan Colour Collection 18 Years Old are seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
With flavours of vanilla, milk chocolate, orange and honeycomb, the whisky is a natural, auburn colour – the outcome of our new make spirit and exceptional oak casks working harmoniously together over the years.
THE COLOURS OF JEREZ
During 18 years of patient maturation, the whisky has drawn out the flavours of the cask: the lemon citrus and vanilla of the American oak, the notes of dried fruits, spices and orange citrus from the European oak, and the almonds, toffee, dried fruit, and hint of spice of the sherry seasoning. The result is a sweet and citric flavour profile with dominant notes of sweet oak, clementine and honeycomb.
Artist and Graphic Designer David Carson captures the warmth of the evening sun as it shines on the “teja” tiles on the roofs of the bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera, against a backdrop of vineyards with chalk-white soil – the perfect environment to enjoy a dram of The Macallan.
COLOUR COLLECTION 21 YEARS OLD
The Collection is a celebration of The Macallan’s commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning. The Colour Collection 21 Years Old showcases whisky that has been aged in American oak casks, beautifully enhanced by a delicate addition of European oak.
DESCRIPTION PRODUCT INFORMATIONThe oak casks used for The Macallan Colour Collection 21 Years Old are seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
With flavours of tropical fruits, coffee, hazelnuts and dark chocolate orange, the whisky is a natural, warm bronze colour – the outcome of our new make spirit and exceptional oak casks working harmoniously together over the years.
THE COLOURS OF JEREZ
Artist and Graphic Designer David Carson has brought the influence of the cask to the fore through an array of rich brown tones that evoke the wood and its toasted, caramel flavours, with a hint of spice.
In this organic yet balanced composition, colours, pattern and textures juxtapose each other, creating a sense of the whisky’s complex yet balanced profile.
Amongst the splashes of colour, we can pick out chocolate browns, orange and reddish brown hues that reflect the whisky’s tasting notes of warm spice, vanilla pods and chocolate orange, and a bright yellow reminiscent of the notes of cardamom and candied ginger it leaves on the palate.
COLOUR COLLECTION 30 YEARS OLD
The Collection is a celebration of The Macallan’s commitment to Natural Colour and Sherry Seasoning. The Colour Collection 30 Years Old has undergone maturation in American oak casks, beautifully accompanied by a delicate touch of European oak.
DESCRIPTION
The oak casks used for The Macallan Colour Collection 30 Years Old are seasoned with sherry wine from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
With flavours of tropical fruits, almond, cinnamon, nutmeg and crystalised lemon peel, the whisky is a natural, deep chestnut colour – the outcome of our new make spirit and exceptional oak casks working harmoniously together over the years.
THE COLOURS OF JEREZ
Years of maturation in our exceptional oak casks has created a deep flavour profile of wood spice, tropical fruit and crème brûlée that Artist and Graphic Designer David Carson has rendered with juxtaposed cutouts of wood grain, stippled orange paint, and zesty yellow brushstrokes.
In the foreground, the 30 Years Old stands resplendent, crowned by a burgundy cap that hints at the influence of wine in this age statement, and across the Colour Collection.

Our reputation for the extraordinary is characterised by the exceptional oak casks for which The Macallan is renowned. Sourced, crafted, toasted and seasoned under the watchful eye of the Master of Wood, the hand-picked casks are delivered to the demanding specifications of the Whisky Mastery Team. It is the oak that makes the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours at the heart of this single malt whisky.
Once filled, the maturing spirit remains undisturbed in the same casks for the necessary number of years it needs to be worthy of its destined Macallan expression. It is these oak casks that make the greatest contribution to the quality, natural colour and distinctive aromas and flavours which lie at the heart of The Macallan single malt.

The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old, aged for thirty years in a harmonious union of American and European oak sherry seasoned casks, to create a unique taste and character.
Acclaimed photographer and artist Erik Madigan Heck was inspired by nature and the landscape of The Macallan Estate when capturing the complex flavour of The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old.
The whisky itself is a rich and luxurious medley of flavour, and Erik Madigan Heck used natural light to capture this depth of character in his still life. The reflective surface enhances the idea of flavours blending– almost as if seamlessly merging together as one – with the soft focus echoing the long-lasting taste experience.
The whisky’s golden acorn natural colour is the focal point of the shot. Its rich tone and translucent glow has influenced the colour palette of the piece as a whole, with the soft caramels and browns and pops of red and green once more showcasing the depth of its flavour profile.

A QUEST FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY
Rare Cask is crafted from the finest and rarest sherry seasoned oak casks, unearthed by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team using their knowledge, skill, passion, and creativity in their quest to seek out the extraordinary.
This single malt whisky reveals the remarkable art and science of the Whisky Maker in selecting unique oak casks that exhibit a distinctive and complex flavour profile. They were curated for maturation by The Macallan Master of Wood and delivered to the exacting specifications of The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team to create Rare Cask. This luxurious expression highlights the magic and science in The Macallan’s intricate whisky making process, as the whisky maker identifies the exceptional oak casks which impart the intense and highly complex flavour profile.

Intense sweet raisin flavours dominate the palate, before giving way to vanilla and dark chocolate, with layers of light citrus zest. The finish is long, rich and velvety to offer a decadent whisky experience that will leave a lasting impression.
Every oak cask has its own personality, with little differences that make them unique. From time to time The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team discovers casks maturing in our warehouses which stand out from the others.

Crafted from a harmonious combination of European and American oak casks, this rich single malt whisky pairs in perfect harmony with fine chocolates for an elevated tasting experience.
A collaboration with renowned pastry chef Jordi Roca of three Michelin star restaurant El Celler de Can Roca, this release brings the worlds of chocolate and whisky to life. To create the first limited edition whisky in a new annual release series, The Macallan Whisky Maker Polly Logan embarked on a unique journey to Girona, Spain, where she immersed herself in the world of chocolate, exploring the chocolate-making process and uncovering the distinctive flavour profiles at Casa Cacao.
Polly worked with Jordi Roca, owner of the famed chocolate boutique and hotel, Casa Cacao and the youngest of the acclaimed Roca brothers. As part of the exploration, she also spent time with master chocolatier of Casa Cacao, Damien Allsop.
In homage to its chocolate influence, The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is presented in a 100% recyclable gift box, made using discarded husks from cacao pods.
A by-product in the chocolate-making process, these husks would have been sent to landfill or destroyed but have now been reborn with a renewed purpose.

Macallan 1841 Replica (70cl, 41.7%)
Macallan 1841 Replica
Released in 2002, this replica bottling was created to mimic a bottle of Macallan purportedly produced in 1861. It is one of four releases that also include replicas of bottles from 1841, 1874 and 1876.
The purpose of this series was to re-create the four antique expressions of Macallan in terms of bottle and label design, as well as to be an accurate re-creation of the whisky’s nose and flavour. Several years after these replicas were released, it transpired that many of these bottles (which were purchased by Macallan) turned out to be fake. This release was one of those.
Despite this controversy, the collectability of these releases has only increased.
The 1841 was the third in a series of controversial replica bottlings of Macallan from the distillery. Whatever the provenance of the bottles that were replicated, the whisky is meant to be tremendous (the late great Michael Jackson gave this a 95 point score), ensuring that this is one of the most popular of these famous (notorious?) bottlings.

Macallan Travel Series 1920s Decades Twenties (50cl, 40%)
The pictures are from the actual bottle frond and back, if you’d like more detailed photos just get in touch!
The Macallan Decades consists of four whiskies that were created to recreate the style of single malt produced as the distillery in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Thankfully their reference material for these was more reliable than the 19th century examples used to create their infamous Replica series.
One of four bottles released by the Macallan which depicts the style of The Macallan from the 1920’s to 1950’s. Each release has an illustration with of-the-era artwork featuring classic modes of transport from each decade.
To re-create the style of The Macallan in the 1920’s, their master distiller has sampled bottles of The Macallan from that decade and matched their aroma and flavour with more recent distillations taken from the casks maturing in their warehouses.
During the 1920’s, most of The Macallan produce was sold to whisky blenders as a “top dressing” single malt for their blended whiskies. The few remaining casks continued to mature their contents for longer, resulting in a whisky that was slightly drier and less toffee sweet than modern day Macallan.

Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Gift Pack (70cl, 40%)
The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old forms part of our Sherry Oak range which features a series of single malt whiskies matured exclusively in hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez for richness and complexity. A matured character, the 12 Years Old delivers rich wood spice and dried fruits and a natural rich gold colour.
The classic sherry matured 12-Year-Old from Macallan has been through several facelifts over the years. After a relatively short hiatus in production to make way for the 1824 series (Gold, Amber, Sienna & Ruby), it made a comeback in 2018, with updated packaging to differentiate it from its Fine Oak and Double Cask brethren.
Macallan A Night On Earth In Scotland 2021 Erica Dorn 70cl, 40%
The first in a series of annual releases from The Macallan, the wonderfully titled A Night on Earth in Scotland is inspired by Hogmanay, Scotland’s New Year’s Eve celebration. Created by Macallan lead whisky maker Sarah Burgess, whose memories of Hogmanay were a key influence to the expression, this single malt features whiskies aged in American and European oak sherry seasoned casks, as well as ex-bourbon barrels.
Those ex-bourbon barrels have imparted a distinctive helping of vanilla notes to the whisky, an homage to the ‘first footer’, a custom of Hogmanay where it’s supposed to be good luck for a dark-haired person to be the first to visit your home after midnight on New Year. Apparently, the ‘first footer’ will be carrying shortbread (that’s where the vanilla notes we were talking about come into this), whisky, and coal for the fire.
A Night on Earth in Scotland features designs by Japanese-French illustrator Erica Dorn, once again inspired by the New Year celebrations around the world.

Macallan 30 Year Old Double Cask 2021 (70cl, 43%)
The oldest Macallan Double Cask ever released, this superbly elegant Speyside malt spent 30 years in American and Spanish oak sherry casks prior to bottling. Even at this age, there’s still fresh fruit to be found in this old Speysider with vivid russet apple, plum and fig on the nose. The palate shows cinnamon, raisins, and rich vanilla that give way to a long finish of toffee and sweet oak spice.
Edrington has added another ultra-premium extension to The Macallan’s portfolio, this time unveiling a 30-year-old single malt Scotch whisky.
Sitting in the brand’s ‘Double Cask’ series, the single malt consists of liquid matured in both Sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks. The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old joins the ‘gold’, 12-, 15- and 18-year-old expressions in the series.
The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old, aged for thirty years in a harmonious union of American and European oak sherry seasoned casks, to create a unique taste and character.
Acclaimed photographer and artist Erik Madigan Heck was inspired by nature and the landscape of The Macallan Estate when capturing the complex flavour of The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old.
The whisky itself is a rich and luxurious medley of flavour, and Erik Madigan Heck used natural light to capture this depth of character in his still life. The reflective surface enhances the idea of flavours blending– almost as if seamlessly merging together as one – with the soft focus echoing the long-lasting taste experience.
The whisky’s golden acorn natural colour is the focal point of the shot. Its rich tone and translucent glow has influenced the colour palette of the piece as a whole, with the soft caramels and browns and pops of red and green once more showcasing the depth of its flavour profile.
Macallan Edition No.6 (75cl, 48.6%)
The sixth and final release in the The Macallan Edition series, Edition No. 6 takes its inspiration from the natural wonders of the legendary River Spey and The Macallan Estate, where each and every cask of The Macallan is matured before being hand-selected for use by our expert whisky makers.
All of the five distinct casks types used to create Edition No. 6 have been hand-picked by The Macallan Whisky Maker Steven Bremner. He drew inspiration from unique stories related to the river and surrounding landscape. The American and European oak casks have been selected to create a flavour profile that will deliver a multifaceted experience; from the appealing rich brass natural colour, to the layers of aroma, followed by the deep and rewarding flavour.
The legendary River Spey flows through the Estate and is globally renowned as a home to the mighty Atlantic salmon. The Macallan Ghillie is a custodian of the River Spey and advocate for sustaining the wildlife in and around it. On our one-and-three-quarter mile stretch of river, a fortunate few can test their skills in the hope of catching – and releasing – wild Atlantic salmon using Hardy’s incomparable tackle.
Wild Atlantic salmon are at risk of becoming an endangered species. Therefore The Macallan are working with the Atlantic Salmon Trust to help raise awareness of this, and to support vital conservation work on the River Spey and beyond.

Macallan Sir Peter Blake An Estate, A Community, and A Distillery (70cl, 47.7%)
The Macallan has unveiled the Anecdotes of Ages Collection, an extraordinary art and whisky collaboration with globally renowned British pop artist, Sir Peter Blake.
The collaboration, which is The Macallan’s third with the iconic artist and is part of a relationship which has spanned more than three decades, celebrates The Macallan’s rich legacy and Sir Peter Blake’s remarkable contribution to the art world.
At the heart of the esteemed collection are 13 one-of-a-kind bottles of exceptional 1967 whisky. Classic but with a distinctly colourful character, this peerless single malt Scotch has been matured for more than 50 years and was carefully selected to represent the year that Sir Peter Blake’s signature collages transcended from art into popular culture.
Each individual bottle features its own original Sir Peter Blake collage art on the label, detailing unique stories relating to The Macallan’s history, community, and the beautiful natural landscape of The Macallan Estate.
Pioneering pop artist Sir Peter Blake is renowned for his highly distinctive collages featuring images from popular culture. His diverse style ranges from colourful lettering to likeness drawing, but he remains best known for his signature crowd work. Over many decades, his unique and timeless style has transcended fashion, music, and even art movements.
The long-held relationship between The Macallan and Sir Peter Blake is based on a mutual respect for craftsmanship as well as a strong desire to deliver truly creative and visionary work. In 1986 he collaborated with The Macallan to create a bespoke label for The Macallan 1926 taking inspiration from the events of the era. In 2012 The Macallan and Sir Peter Blake collaborated again to create a unique, limited edition art piece in celebration of his 80th birthday and decades of collaborating with The Macallan.
As part of The Macallan’s strong support for the arts, one of the extremely scarce 13 Anecdotes of Ages bottles is being auctioned to raise funds to benefit the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Support from The Macallan will advance efforts underway at the Guggenheim to increase free access and develop engagement with a variety of audiences, in alignment with the museum’s diversity, equity, access, and inclusion initiatives. The sale is being conducted by Sotheby’s in March 2021.
Sir Peter Blake said: “I am deeply inspired by the incredible legacy of The Macallan, and its emphasis on family, tradition, and the natural world.
Each collage in the Anecdotes of Ages Collection is inspired by The Macallan’s history and heritage, one that respects time and craft, two essential components of my own creative process. I meticulously worked on each collage, pulling from The Macallan Estate’s rich history to complete a collection that is a celebration of art and whisky.”
Sarah Burgess, Lead Whisky Maker at The Macallan, said: “This exceptional 1967 whisky was chosen for its classic yet distinctively colourful character, which is reminiscent of Sir Peter Blake’s work of the same year. With notes of oak and fig leading to a burst of hazelnut and strawberry, this is a truly special single malt that finishes with complex flavours of chocolate and lightly spiced peach. It is in many ways, its own work of art.”
The exquisite and incredibly rare Anecdotes of Ages Collection will be sought after worldwide by whisky and art lovers alike.
Each of the 13 original bottles are hand-blown with an oak stopper, and feature a label signed by Sir Peter Blake. Presented in a handcrafted European oak case incorporating thumbnail photography revealing Sir Peter Blake’s inspirational journey with The Macallan, the expressions are also accompanied by a leather-bound book showcasing all 13 label artworks and corresponding stories, as well as a certificate of authenticity.
While the 13th original bottle will be retained in The Macallan archive, a highly limited edition whisky featuring a duplicate label and the same rare 1967 whisky, will be released as The Anecdotes of Ages Collection: Down to Work Limited Edition. Only 322 bottles will be available worldwide, from February.
