MACALLAN FOLIO 8: A TRIBUTE TO A LEGENDARY CAMPAIGN

For collectors and whisky connoisseurs alike, The Macallan Archival Series represents a journey through the brand’s rich history, reviving its most iconic advertising campaigns from the 1980s and 1990s. Now, with the release of Folio 8, The Macallan pays homage to one of its most memorable adverts: The Colossus of Nose, a playful nod to the magnificent aromas of its revered single malt whisky.

A Celebration of Heritage and Craftsmanship

Folio 8 continues The Macallan’s tradition of blending heritage with storytelling, commemorating an era when the brand was first introduced to a wider global audience. The advertisement at the heart of this edition playfully captures the essence of The Macallan as ‘The King of Malts,’ evoking the richness and depth of its character.

Presented in a book-shaped box, this exclusive release includes a special booklet that delves into the campaign’s history, along with digital content that brings the nostalgic charm of vintage advertising to a modern audience. It serves as both a collector’s piece and a time capsule, preserving The Macallan’s legacy for future generations.

Tasting Notes: A Whisky Worthy of Its Legacy

The Macallan Folio 8 is a whisky that embodies complexity and refinement. Its deep, inviting character unfolds with layers of rich dried fruits, sweet berry compote, and indulgent notes of toffee. Zesty lemon peel, warm cinnamon, and a subtle touch of anise add further intrigue, leading to a palate of ginger, a burst of citrus, and the signature sweetness of oak. The finish is long, luxurious, and elegantly spiced with lingering oak notes.

A Collector’s Must-Have

Each release in The Macallan Archival Series serves as a tribute to the artistry and vision that have defined the brand’s success. Folio 8 is no exception, offering whisky enthusiasts and collectors a chance to own a piece of The Macallan’s enduring story. With its exquisite packaging, detailed booklet, and exceptional liquid within, it is a true celebration of craftsmanship and creativity.

As The Macallan continues to push the boundaries of whisky-making while honouring its storied past, Folio 8 stands as a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence. For those fortunate enough to secure a bottle, it represents more than just a rare whisky—it is a piece of history, beautifully bottled and ready to be savoured.
