The Macallan 78 Year Old The Red Collection – 70cl
The Macallan 78 Year Old The Red Collection is among the rarest and oldest publicly available Speyside single malts in the world — a museum-grade expression matured for over seven decades in hand-picked sherry-seasoned oak casks at The Macallan distillery, founded in 1824.
The Red Collection is The Macallan's aged-statement luxury series, with each bottling representing some of the deepest reserves from the distillery's vaults. Strictly limited and individually numbered. The packaging features striking labels designed by acclaimed artist Sir Peter Blake.
A definitive museum-grade collector's expression — for the most serious of single malt enthusiasts.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Profoundly aromatic — caramelised dried fruit, antique leather, dark chocolate, polished oak, dried fig, gentle smoke, and warm baking spice — extraordinarily mature and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Velvety and concentrated — dark caramel, dried fig, sherried oak, dark cocoa, leather, espresso, gentle smoke, ginger, and warm spice — full-bodied with extraordinary depth that only seven decades can deliver.
FINISH
Exceptionally long — lingering dried fruit, dark caramel, sherried oak, gentle leather, and a slow warming spice depth fading gracefully — refined, contemplative, and unforgettable.
