Description
The Macallan's 18-year single malt, distilled in 2007 and bottled at a symbolically chosen 45.5% ABV, commemorates the 55th anniversary of Diamonds Are Forever and marks the second Bond collaboration. Matured across a complex array of sherry casks—first-fill European oak, first-fill American oak, red wine-seasoned, bespoke hybrid, and refill—this spirit balances multiple wood influences into a cohesive profile. It suits Bond enthusiasts and collectors seeking a limited-edition Speyside with cinematic heritage and sophisticated cask selection.
