The Macallan Folio 5

An unexpected celebration of heritage and storytelling, The Macallan Folio 5 continues the legendary Archival Series, honouring the distillery’s classic advertising campaigns of the 1970s and 1980s. Presented in the signature book-shaped case with a reprinted vintage advert, this release reflects The Macallan’s timeless mastery of sherry-seasoned oak casks, delivering a whisky of richness, character, and nostalgic charm.

Crafted for collectors and connoisseurs alike, Folio 5 is both a tribute to The Macallan’s iconic past and an enduring expression of the sherried Speyside style that has captivated whisky lovers for generations.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Elegant and expressive. Notes of dried fruits, fig, and raisin intertwine with orange peel, polished oak, and hints of ginger spice. Subtle tones of vanilla and nutmeg lift the bouquet.

Palate: Full and resonant. Flavours of rich fruit cake, blackcurrant, and plum unfold into cinnamon, clove, and dark chocolate. A balance of honeyed sweetness and oak spice lingers with depth.

Finish: Long and indulgent. Lingering waves of dried fruit, warm spice, and soft oak taper into a refined sherry richness.

The Macallan Folio 5 is not simply a whisky—it is a story in liquid form. A rare fusion of heritage, advertising artistry, and Speyside craftsmanship, crafted for those who cherish both legacy and flavour.
