Macallan Color Collection – Set of 4

It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. . So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills.

Launched in mid-2023, the Colour Collection comprises five age statement malts which range from 12 to 30 years old. The collection is a tribute to the distilleries dedication to producing natural-coloured whiskies. Each release has been aged in sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
