The Macallan Red Collection 50 Year Scotch Whisky 700 mL

The Macallan Red Collection 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700 mL) is a half-century-old masterpiece that embodies the pinnacle of patience, rarity, and refined craft. A central expression in The Red Collection, this extraordinary whisky is drawn from the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks, carefully nurtured over five decades in the cool, quiet warehouses of The Macallan Estate. Inspired by the brand’s deep-rooted connection to the color red—a symbol of legacy, passion, and distinction—this 50-year-old expression is as much a work of art as it is a whisky.

Presented in a handcrafted oak display box lined with luxurious red leather, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this limited release is designed for elite collectors and lovers of ultra-aged Scotch whisky.
