Macallan 60 Red Collection

The Macallan 60 Red Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky
700ml | 43.4% ABV | Natural Color | Non-Chill Filtered | Limited Release

A Landmark in Macallan’s Legacy

The Macallan 60 Red Collection was released in 2020 as the centerpiece of The Macallan’s most ambitious series to date—celebrating the distillery’s deep connection to the color red, from its red roof to its red warehouse doors. Consequently, it honors six decades of sherry cask mastery. Moreover, this 60-year-old expression is one of the rarest and most valuable Macallans ever released.

Six Decades in a Single Cask

Distilled in 1960 and matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned European oak casks, this whisky developed extraordinary depth and balance over 60 years. In fact, the Macallan 60 Red Collection captures the golden era of Macallan distillation—when spirit was crafted with traditional methods and aged in the finest Spanish oak.

Opulent, Silky, and Timelessly Balanced

Bottled at 43.4% ABV, this expression delivers profound richness with remarkable elegance. As a result, it layers fig, prune, and dark chocolate over cinnamon, clove, and polished oak. Additionally, the extreme age imparts a waxy, velvety texture that defines its luxurious mouthfeel.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals dried apricot, beeswax, and orange marmalade, followed by leather, nutmeg, and a whisper of tobacco. Then, subtle notes of roasted almond and dark honey emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is sumptuous and full. Flavors of plum, toffee, baking spice, and antique oak unfold with grace. The alcohol integrates seamlessly, adding warmth without weight.

Finally, the finish is exceptionally long—dried herbs, cocoa, and a hint of mineral freshness. Altogether, it’s a majestic and contemplative dram that embodies the soul of this Macallan 60 Red Collection.

A Collector’s Crown Jewel

Housed in a handcrafted crystal decanter with a red lacquered presentation case, the Macallan 60 Red Collection is a true work of art. Therefore, it appeals to collectors who value heritage, rarity, and design. With fewer than 500 bottles released globally, it remains one of the most coveted Macallans of the modern era.
