Created by Kirsteen Campbell, The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release, is said to reflect the enduring character of James Bond, a force of nature defined by his Scottish heritage, who carries himself with modesty and humility.
In recent years, The Macallan has become James Bond’s whisky of choice, reflecting his appreciation for the finer things in life. They have shared many moments together on screen, including in Skyfall when James Bond drinks The Macallan Fine & Rare 1962, as an ode to the 50th anniversary.
The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release, is said to deliver notes of lemon, lime, sherbet, sweet vanilla, coconut, dried fig and raisin on the nose. Followed by notes of orange zest fizzy sherbet, lemon, gentle oak, ginger spice, deep dark chocolate, figs and baked apple tart with a honey drizzle on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Jaume Ferras, Global Creative Director for The Macallan, said: “This October, James Bond will celebrate its 60th anniversary, making it the longest running and one of the most loved franchises in the world of entertainment, comprising 25 films over six decades and six lead actors over time. The Macallan is James Bond’s whisky of choice and as two renowned global brands, we share many synergies, most notably as modern innovators linked by our Scottish heritage.”
The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release, will be available later this month from The Macallan Online Boutique, The Macallan Estate Boutique and specialist retailers, for a RRP of £600.
