Macallan Single Malt James Bond 60th Anniversary Edition - Decade I

  • PRODUCER:

    The Macallan Distillery

  • REGION:

    Highland, Scotland

  • AGING:

    NAS

The Macallan and James Bond are bound together by our shared Scottish heritage, innovative nature, and the pursuit of excellence. They have created a remarkable collection comprising six limited edition bottles inspired by each of The Six Decades of Bond, each decade encapsulated in its own packaging, telling the story of innovation over 60 years and the pioneering character attributes of James Bond and The Macallan.

The 1960s was a singular decade for James Bond. The debut of the suave spy icon onto the silver screen in 1962 was embodied by the inimitable Sean Connery, who went on to appear in six films across the next ten years. Resting only when George Lazenby starred in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in 1969, Sir Sean was to roar back in triumph in 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever. 

The pack design includes sketches from Goldfinger (1964), You Only Live Twice (1967) where Little Nellie is in a combat sequence, and the dummy jet pack worn by Bond in Thunderball (1965).

Whisky Maker: Kirsteen Campbell

43.7% ABV / 87.4 Proof
