Macallan James Bond 18 Years Old 2007

The Macallan Diamonds Are Forever 55th Anniversary Release commemorates 55 years since the release of the classic James Bond film, continuing The Macallan’s celebrated partnership with the legendary franchise. Long regarded as James Bond’s whisky of choice, Macallan has featured prominently across the Bond film series, further cementing the connection between the two icons. In contrast to the James Bond 60th Anniversary series released in 2022, this expression stands apart with a declared vintage of 2007 and an 18-year age statement. Bottled at 45.5% ABV, the whisky has been matured in a combination of sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, alongside an unusual and intriguing inclusion of red wine casks. While The Macallan is renowned for its mastery of sherry cask maturation, the addition of red wine casks introduces a distinctive layer of complexity, subtly referencing scenes in the film where Bond’s refined understanding of wine plays a pivotal role. The presentation is equally compelling, with the bottle sitting in a presentation tube which draws inspiration from original Diamonds Are Forever production artwork held within the official Bond archives. Design elements such as the iconic laser satellite and the film’s opening title sequence offer a rare glimpse behind the scenes, reinforcing The Macallan’s reputation for combining exceptional whisky-making with cinematic storytelling.
