The eighth release in The Macallan Archival Series commemorates the legendary advert of the 1980s 'The Colossus of Nose' that playfully alludes to the magnificent aroma emitted by the King of Malts, otherwise known as The Macallan.
The series brings together stories, anecdotes, drawings and photographs to showcase how The Macallan grew from a remote farmstead on the River Spey to become a world-renowned single malt whisky recognised for its incomparable craftsmanship and creativity.

Folio 8 breathes new life into this timeless campaign. It is accompanied by a special booklet commemorating the brand’s vintage advertising - plus digital content - all presented in a beautiful book-shaped box

43% ABV / 70cl

Ripe dried fruits, sweet berry compote with toffee, lemon peel, cinnamon and just a hint of anise give way to ginger, a burst of citrus and sweet oak to taste. The luxurious finish is long and rich with sweet oak spices.

The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 and prides itself on its Six Pillars, which include its curiously small stills, very narrow 'cut' of new make spirit and exceptional cask management. It is the most sought after whisky for collectors, regularly setting records at auctions all round the world.
