The Macallan has launched its James Bond 60th Anniversary Collection, a limited-edition set of single malt whiskies to commemorate The Six Decades of James Bond films, which will be available for purchase in the UK. This extraordinary compilation was made in partnership with EON Productions, the filmmaker behind the James Bond series.
Containing six distinct bottles, this tribute to 007 incorporates an illustrative design and colour symbolising the respective decade. The packaging showcases the creative growth of the movies by providing a peek into the James Bond archives.

Kirsteen Campbell, The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, has crafted an exceptional single malt whisky to reflect the timeless character of James Bond. With its natural colour of Suisse gold and its ABV of 43.7%, a reference to James Bond’s agent number, 007, this expression embodies a sense of style and maturity that has evolved over the years.
Both James Bond and The Macallan are modern innovators, united by their shared Scottish heritage, creativity, and commitment to excellence, and the six-pack set in the collection celebrates this connection.

- Finish: Sweet and long with complex layers.
Jaume Ferras, Global Creative Director for The Macallan, said: “In celebrating its 60th anniversary, James Bond has become the longest-running and one of the most loved franchises in the world of entertainment, comprising 25 films over six decades and six lead actors over that time. The Macallan is James Bond’s whisky of choice and as two renowned global brands, we share many synergies, most notably as modern innovators linked by our Scottish heritage.”
The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Collection will be available in-store at Harrods priced at £700 per bottle, from Sunday 19th February.
