Macallan Decades Collection - Fifties (500ml)

One of four bottles released by the Macallan which depicts the style of The Macallan from the 1920's to 1950's. Each release has an illustration with of-the-era artwork featuring classic modes of transport from each decade.

To re-create the style of The Macallan in the 1950's, their master distiller has sampled bottles of The Macallan from that decade and matched their aroma and flavour with more recent distillations taken from the casks maturing in their warehouses

During the 1950's, Spanish oak sherry casks became available again following the disruption of the second world war, allowing The Macallan to revert to using only first and second fill casks. This resulted in a whisky which was rich and spicy as modern day Macallan, but with a hint of peat smoke.
