Macallan The Red Collection 40 Year Old

This impressive 40-year-old was launched in October 2020 as part of The Red Collection. The range also includes a 50-, 60-, 71-, 74- and 78-year-old, some of the oldest whisky ever bottled by the distillery. The colour red has a myriad of significance for Macallan, from its founder's name, Alexander Reid, meaning "the red one", to the the label aesthetic being an homage to the oldest vintages bottled from the distillery in the late 1970s and Allan Shiach marking them with red ribbons in the 1980s.

The 40 year old was created by Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell and is presented in a oak box hand-crafted in the UK using the same European wood used to make Macallan casks. The interior of the box has been upholstered by Bridge of Weir using high quality, sustainably-sourced Scottish leather.
