Macallan 78 Year 'Red Collection' Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Macallan 78 Year Red Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Elegance in your hands

The Macallan Red Collection stands as a tribute to the esteemed heritage and masterful artisanship that has defined the distillery. The collection's signature red hue draws inspiration from the venerable The Macallan 'Choice Old' series, a cornerstone of the brand's illustrious history that dates back to 1903. This range not only underscores the enduring legacy of The Macallan but also honors the lineage of master distillers who have shaped its distinguished profile over the years.

"The Macallan 78 years emerges as a testament to the distillery's refined craftsmanship, unveiling a bouquet of apple, peach, and grape scents, gracefully intertwined with undertones of leather and vanilla. This exceptional single malt encapsulates the quintessential warm, woody essences of The Macallan, seamlessly transitioning to a symphony of dried fruit with a subtle nod to almond and walnut nuances." - Sarah Burgess, Lead Whiskey Maker

Background Insights

The vibrant red color weaves through the fabric of our history, from our founder Alexander Reid, whose name translates to "The Red," to the pioneering 'Choice Old' range introduced in 1903, and the tradition in the 1980s of Allan Shiach adorning aged The Macallan bottles with a red ribbon.

The presentation box, a work of art in itself, is handcrafted in the UK from the same European oak used in our cask-making process. The craftsmanship extends to its luxurious interior, lined with soft, sustainably sourced Scottish leather provided by our esteemed partners at Bridge of Weir Leather, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and elegance.
