Out of stock
A luxurious single malt encased in a stunning decanter celebrating the far-reaching innovations of the 1930s.
Calling back to an elegant period in time where the world opened up to new adventures, this fifth and final release from the exquisite Golden Age of Travel series brings our exploration of this fascinating period of history to a close.
A collaboration with French crystal makers Lalique, contained within this exquisite vessel is The Macallan 1940 (35 Years Old) that distils the essence of bygone eras, a time of great change and the seemingly endless opportunities through international travel. The 1930s was a time of luxury and elegance, and during this period casks were carefully laid down at The Macallan Distillery to rest in warehouses, embarking on their own extraordinary voyage.
The liquid is beautifully showcased in a handcrafted Lalique crystal decanter, and features an illustration of one of the most innovative developments of the era in the first civil air transportation machine. This era allowed the discovery of new and exotic places made possible through luxury travel.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with a warm copper-gold glow and a hint of mahogany.
Nose
Opulent sherry sweetness with aged depth: raisins, dried fig and orange zest mingle with rich caramel and toffee. Velvet hints of dark chocolate, almond and leather drift through, underpinned by polished oak and subtle spice. An elegant, timeless aroma that evokes luxury travel and the Lalique decanter.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied on the palate, this 1940 Macallan unfurls layers of figs and prunes with dried orange zest, braided with treacle, polished oak and dark chocolate. Rich sherry depth coats the mid-palate, releasing warm spices—cinnamon, nutmeg—into a long, refined finish that hints at leather and tobacco, with elegant cask warmth.
Finish
Long and luxurious, the finish lingers with sherried sweetness—dark fig and raisin notes woven with cocoa, orange zest and spice, fading to regal oak and a refined, velvety warmth.
