Macallan Series Twenties, Thirties, Forties, Fifties Bundle

This Travel Series was created by The Macallan's Master Distiller to re-create the style of whisky produced at the distillery throughout the decades, with each bottle representing a different decade.
Each bottle of the series has been released exclusively for the Travel Retail Market and it is one of the most popular and sought-after collectors of the brand. These 4 releases reflect the style of The Macallan in the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s and the distinctive packaging features a classic mode of travel from each era.

1. The Macallan Twenties – Re-Creation of 1920’s Style Macallan

This bottling is based on the character of the 1920s. During the 1920s, most Macallan produced was sold to whisky blenders as a “top dressing” single malt for their blended whiskies.
Tasting Notes: spicy, dry and characterized by classic sherry barrel aroma. Notes of dried fruit, oak, light smoke and a fine bitterness, as was typical for early Macallan decades.

2. The Macallan Thirties – Re-Creation of 1930’s Style Macallan

During the 1930s, with coal in short supply as a result of increasing industrial activity, Macallan reverted to drying barley using peat fires. The 1930s produced softer, rounder whiskies and this is exactly what this edition reflects.
Tasting Notes: Sweet, malty, creamy – with raisins, vanilla, ripe apples and warm wood. Elegant, supple and very accessible.

3. The Macallan Forties – Re-Creation of 1940’s Style Macallan

During the 1940s, with a shortage of sherry cask as a result of the Second World War, Macallan would refill its casks more often than is the current practice. This style is more powerful and richer.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of dark fruits, spices, cocoa and a touch of peat are expected – inspired by the war and post-war period, in which the distillation process varied in part. Complex, spicy and deep.

4. The Macallan Fifties – Re-Creation of 1950’s Style Macallan

During the 1950s, Spanish oak sherry casks became available again following the disruption of the Second World War, allowing The Macallan to revert to using only first and second fill casks. The 1950s stand for elegant, balanced sherry barrel character.
Tasting Notes: Toffee, nuts, figs, leather and delicate oak notes. Very harmonious, very classic – a timeless Macallan style.
