Macallan Diamond Jubilee

The Macallan Diamond Jubilee Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky
700ml | 52.9% ABV | Natural Color | Non-Chill Filtered | 1 of 420 Bottles

A Royal Tribute in Liquid Form

The Macallan Diamond Jubilee was created to honor Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th year on the throne—a historic milestone in British history. Distilled in 1952, the year of her accession, and bottled in 2012, this 60-year-old single malt is a rare fusion of whisky heritage and royal legacy. Consequently, it stands as one of the most exclusive Macallan releases ever made. Moreover, only 420 bottles were produced—each a tribute to six decades of service.

Six Decades in a Single Cask

This spirit matured undisturbed in a sherry-seasoned European oak cask for 60 years, developing extraordinary depth and balance. In fact, the Macallan Diamond Jubilee captures the essence of mid-20th-century distillation—unpeated, rich, and profoundly complex—crafted during the same year the Queen began her reign.

Opulent, Powerful, and Regally Balanced

Bottled at cask strength (52.9% ABV), this whisky delivers majestic intensity with remarkable elegance. As a result, it layers antique oak, dried fig, and treacle with cinnamon, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Additionally, the extreme age imparts a waxy, silky texture that lingers for minutes.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals old library books, beeswax, and dried plum, followed by ginger, nutmeg, and a whisper of leather. Then, subtle notes of dark honey and polished wood emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is velvety and weightless. Flavors of black tea, prune, roasted nuts, and spice unfold with grace. The high strength feels integrated, adding warmth and structure without heat.

Finally, the finish is eternal—dried herbs, oak spice, and a haunting echo of history. Altogether, it’s a transcendent dram that honors the legacy of this Macallan Diamond Jubilee.

A Regal Collector’s Masterpiece

Housed in a hand-blown glass decanter with a silver-plated collar engraved with the Queen’s royal cypher, this bottling was presented in a solid oak case lined with Scottish wool. Therefore, the Macallan Diamond Jubilee is as much a royal artifact as a whisky—destined for museums, royal collections, and elite connoisseurs.
