A Journey Through Time
In 1999-2001, Macallan embarked on a unique venture, recreating the allure of its 1950s whiskies for a limited-edition travel retail series. Crafted by Macallan’s Master Distiller David Robertson, this collection pays homage to the distinct styles of the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and, of course, the iconic 1950s. The packaging itself is a nod to the travel style of each era, presenting a classic glimpse into the past.
The Art of Recreating Flavors
To capture the essence of the 1950s, Macallan’s artisans meticulously sampled bottles from that decade. By marrying these vintage flavors with contemporary distillations, they achieved a whisky reminiscent of the rich and spicy character of the Macallan from the 1950s, accented by a subtle hint of peat smoke. Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible bestowed an impressive score of 92 points upon the Macallan Fifties bottling. While Michael Jackson, the esteemed whisky writer, ranked it among the highest of any malts in the Malt Whisky Companion.
