Macallan Red Collection 50 Years Old

The Macallan Red Collection reflects our deep respect for time, tradition and craftsmanship. It is a tribute to the rich range of red colours that naturally occur in The Macallan - in every single step of the process.

The characteristic red colour is woven through our history, starting with the name of our founder Alexander Reid - literally "The Red" - to The Macallan's "Choice Old" range, launched over a hundred years ago in 1903, and to Allan Shiach, who marked vintage bottles of The Macallan with a red ribbon in the 1980s.

"Every precious drop offers a unique opportunity to explore The Macallan's tradition of whisky making."

The Macallan Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell presents an unparalleled single malt whisky, slowly matured over five decades under the watchful eyes of generations of whisky makers, until it reached this perfect point of maturation. The "new make" spirit from The Macallan's small copper pot stills was laid down in hand-picked oak casks and left to mature for fifty years.

During these decades of slumber, the carefully selected wood has shaped the whisky's unique character, imparting the natural colour, distinctive aromas and full flavours of this aged single malt.

The oak presentation box is handcrafted in the UK using the same sustainable European oak we use to make our casks. The box is beautifully upholstered with sustainable, soft Scottish leather from our renowned partners, Bridge of Weir Leather, which is sustainably sourced.

 

AROMA
Antique oak and soft leather, light floral notes, rich cocoa and black cherries and ginger.

TASTE
A warming combination of dried fruit and wood spices, moving into dates and dark chocolate, orange oil and hints of sultanas.
