The Macallan 40 Year Old is a distinguished member of The Red Collection, showcasing a lineage that includes rare vintages aged 40, 50, 60, 71, 74, and 78 years, some of the oldest whiskies ever bottled by the distillery. Launched in October 2020, this collection pays tribute to the importance of the colour red in Macallan's heritage, from the founder's name, Alexander Reid, meaning "the red one," to vintage bottles marked with red ribbons in the 1980s.
The Macallan 40 Year Old is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous cask management, slowly maturing over four decades under the supervision of generations of whisky makers. The spirit was crafted by Macallan's Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell, whose discerning palate and skill contribute to the whisky's esteemed quality.
Bottled at a potent 48.1% ABV, this single malt is a product of sherry-seasoned casks, contributing to its complex character and rich depth. The final whisky is presented in an exquisite oak box, handcrafted in the UK from the same sustainable European oak used in Macallan's casks. The box is further enhanced with soft, sustainably sourced Scottish leather from Bridge of Weir Leather.
This bottle of The Macallan 40 Year Old is a remarkable addition to any whisky collection, reflecting the deep respect for time, tradition, and craftsmanship inherent in The Macallan's practices.
