The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Collection features six limited edition single malts launched to mark six decades of James Bond films, with some fantastic illustrations based on original Bond artwork.

The single malt has been created by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell, each liquid cut at 43.7% as an homage to the character’s agent number, 007.

Each edition features designs to denote the decade it represents.

The Macallan whisky is prominently seen in the 2012 James Bond film SkyFall and James Bond drinks The Macallan once again in SPECTRE (read more). In SkyFall, James Bond and Silva drink The Macallan Fine & Rare 1962 as a nod to the 50th Anniversary of the movie franchise at the 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,” said Jaume Ferras, global creative director for The Macallan.

Packaging Design

The designers took original Bond artwork to create the package designs for each decade. Just as impressive as the package design is the animated promotional video for the whisky, which brings the drawings to life, watch it below.
