MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS AND A RICH HERITAGE
The Anecdotes of Ages Collection is an extraordinary art and whisky collaboration with globally renowned British pop artist Sir Peter Blake .
The collaboration marks The Macallan’s third collaboration with the iconic artist and is part of a relationship that has spanned almost four decades. The partnership celebrates our rich heritage and Sir Peter Blake’s remarkable contribution to the art world.
This special single malt whisky has been created to commemorate Sir Peter Blake’s visit to The Macallan Estate on the legendary River Spey. An Estate, A Community, and A Distillery tells the story of some of the colourful people from The Macallan’s past and present and features a label digitally designed by Sir Peter himself.
The Macallan Lead Whisky Maker, Sarah Burgess, was inspired by the character of Sir Peter Blake to create a classic whisky with surprising notes of treacle and black pepper.
