Anecdotes of Ages
Sir Peter Blake and Mary McCartney discuss how the stories of The Macallan’s past and present created inspiration for Mary’s photography of The Anecdotes of Ages Collection.
ON THE MACALLAN ESTATE
Represented on 13 unique bottle labels created by Sir Peter Blake, The Anecdotes of Ages Collection tells stories from our history, our community, and the beautiful natural landscape of The Macallan Estate.
Renowned photographer Mary McCartney captured this collection, conveying the spirit of the people, and the value of place that is The Macallan Estate. Each bottle of this 1967 single malt whisky adorns a collage style label, designed by Sir Peter Blake and captured by Mary McCartney on The Macallan Estate in locations representative of the anecdote they depict. Together, they share stories of their time at The Macallan Estate in Speyside, Scotland.
