The Macallan Romantica Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bundle 40 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

The Macallan Romantica Collection exemplifies The Macallan's mastery of wood and spirit.

From a single sherry seasoned European oak cask from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, three editions have been created, 86 of each bearing the label artwork of Sir Peter Blake, Valerio Adami and Michael Dillon.

In 1986, The Macallan 1926 reached the apogee of maturity with a complex and alluring character, slowly aged into perfection over six long decades in a sherry seasoned oak cask from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. This would become the world’s most valuable wine or spirit sold at auction.

As maturation of The Macallan 1926 came to an end in 1986, another journey was just beginning. Single sherry seasoned European oak cask no. 9925 was filled and laid down in a cool, quiet corner of The Macallan Estate, to be unveiled in 2026 in celebration of the 100th anniversary of The Macallan 1926 - revealed as The Macallan Romantica Collection.

A trinity of globally acclaimed artists were commissioned to create label art for The Macallan 1926: Sir Peter Blake, Valerio Adami and Michael Dillon. Today, the artists are reunited with The Macallan to pay homage to The Macallan 1926 on its 100th anniversary; each artist brings their own singular perspective to a new collection of artwork for The Romantica Collection.

Each artist contemplated The Macallan's journey during cask no. 9925's years of slumber, from 1986 to 2026 and interpreted this in their own unique style with a depth, complexity and vibrancy mirrored in the character of the whisky that bears their art.
