Folio 8
The eighth release in The Macallan Archival Series commemorates the legendary advert of the 1980s 'The Colossus of Nose' that playfully alludes to the magnificent aroma emitted by the King of Malts, otherwise known as The Macallan.
Ripe dried fruits, sweet berry compote with toffee, lemon peel, cinnamon and just a hint of anise give way to ginger, a burst of citrus and sweet oak to taste. The luxurious finish is long and rich with sweet oak spices.
The Macallan Archival Series
The Macallan Archival Series revisits the legendary advertisements from the 1980s and 1990s, breathing new life into much-loved campaigns. These adverts introduced The Macallan to a wider audience for the first time and now have a moment to captivate once more.
The series brings together stories, anecdotes, drawings and photographs to showcase how The Macallan grew from a remote farmstead on the River Spey to become a world-renowned single malt whisky recognised for its incomparable craftsmanship and creativity.
