Macallan 60 Year Old Red Collection Description

The Red Collection is an exquisite range of distinguished and rare single malt scotch whiskies which capture The Macallan’s deep respect for tradition and craftsmanship. The distinctive red colour is inspired by The Macallan ‘Choice Old’ range, released over a century ago in 1903, and brought to life by beautiful illustrations by acclaimed Spanish painter and illustrator Javi Aznarez.

The Macallan 60 Year Old is matured in a combination of sherry seasoned and refill casks and bottled at 43.4% abv.

The nose has a combination of sweet and fruit notes, alongside baked peach and pineapple with figs and dates. Hints of leather merge creating a luxuriously resinous aroma. Dry antique oak notes and hints of ginger develop into tropical papaya and mango on the palate. The finish is complex with lime, liquorice and dark chocolate.

Knowledge Bar

The red thread begins with Alexander Reid, the farmer and teacher who founded The Macallan in 1824. Taking up residence at Easter Elchies in the late 1700s, he transformed the estate from a small farming community into a world-renowned distiller. His surname Reid is a name of Scottish origin, meaning ‘the red one’ and was originally associated with red hair.
