The Macallan
James Bond 60th Anniversary Release, one
new specially created whisky, which is
available with six different bottle and
packaging designs with each bottle
representing one of the Six Decades of
James Bond films.
Here is one for the Macallan drinking
James Bond fans amongst you, The
Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary
Release, one new whisky, which is
available with six different bottle and
packaging designs with each bottle
representing one of the Six Decades of
James Bond films.
If The Macallan Fine & Rare 1962 which
featured in the movie Skyfall as an ode
to the 50th anniversary was a little
over your normal dramming budget then
these six bottles which mark James
Bond's 60th Anniversary might just be
within your reach with an RRSP of US$800
/ £600.
The collection of six
limited edition bottles encasing a
specially created single malt whisky in unique packs, each
featuring an original illustrative
design and colour to denote the decade
it represents. The distinctive packaging
brings to life the creative development
process of the films in a behind the
scenes exploration of the James Bond
archives.
A celebration of 007 and The Macallan as
modern innovators linked by their
Scottish heritage, the release showcases
a timeless and graceful spirit balanced
by incredible strength and depth of
character.
The single malt whisky you will find in
the bottles is the creative work of The
Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen
Campbell and it is said to reflect the
enduring character of James Bond, a
force of nature defined by his Scottish
heritage, who carries himself with
modesty and humility. Like James Bond,
the expression is said to exude a sense
of style and maturity which has evolved
over the years. It has a natural colour
of Suisse gold and an ABV of 43.7% as an
homage to James Bond’s agent number, 007
and is consistent across all six packs
in the collection.
The distinct set tells the story of
innovation over 60 years and the
pioneering character attributes of James
Bond and The Macallan.
Scotland is renowned for its inventors
and 007’s gadgets are a hallmark of the
films’ popularity, while The Macallan
has unwavering character, deep roots,
and a continuous pursuit to innovate.
James Bond’s roots are unmistakeably
British – his heritage Scottish – yet he
is the very definition of a man of the
world. Born to a Scottish father, Andrew
Bond from Glencoe and a Swiss mother,
Monique Delacroix from the Canton de
Vaud, he spent much of his childhood at
Skyfall Lodge – his family’s Scottish
Estate in Glencoe.
In recent years, The Macallan has become
James Bond’s whisky of choice,
reflecting his appreciation for the
finer things in life. They have shared
many moments together on screen,
including in Skyfall when James Bond
drinks The Macallan Fine & Rare 1962 as
an ode to the 50th anniversary.
Jaume Ferras, Global Creative Director
for The Macallan, said: "This October,
James Bond will celebrate its 60th
anniversary, making it the longest
running and one of the most loved
franchises in the world of
entertainment, comprising 25 films over
six decades and six lead actors over
time. The Macallan is James Bond’s
whisky of choice and as two renowned
global brands, we share many synergies,
most notably as modern innovators linked
by our Scottish heritage."
The Macallan has also created a series
of immersive experiences to celebrate
the 60th anniversary of James Bond
including a unique exhibition – The
Macallan in Cinema - at The Macallan
Estate, which will take viewers through
The Macallan’s history on film and
transport them through the six decades
of James Bond. A selection of films from
across the years will also be shown at
The Macallan Estate during a series of
exclusive screenings.
There will be limited availability
worldwide of the six bottles in The
Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary
Release, they will have an RRSP of
US$800 / £600 and will be available from
this month from The Macallan Online
