The Macallan The Red Collection Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 71 Year Old
Out of stock
The Macallan Red Collection is an exquisite range of eight remarkable and rare single malt whiskies, shaped by the actions of The Macallan's founder Alexander Reid and key characters in their history.
The Macallan Red Collection reflects theire deep respect for time, tradition and craftsmanship. It is a celebration of the rich range of reds present naturally in The Macallan - in every step of the process. The distinctive red colour weaves its way through their history, starting with the name of their founder Alexander Reid - literally “The Red”, to The Macallan’s ‘Choice Old’ range released over a century ago in 1903, through to Allan Shiach marking vintage bottles of The Macallan with a red ribbon in the 1980s.
The oak presentation box is crafted by hand in the UK, using the same sustainable European Oak Macallan use to make their casks. The box has been beautifully upholstered with sustainably sourced, soft scottish leather from our renowned partners, Bridge of Weir Leather.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery undertones and a mahogany-ruby glow, a warm, radiant hue that catches the light.
Nose
A sweet, spicy opening with wood spices—soft ginger, nutmeg and orange peel—giving way to rich vanilla reminiscent of a crème brûlée. Subtle undercurrents of honeydew melon and fig lend a delicate fruit lift.
Palate
Sweet and spicy on the palate, a ginger sponge gives way to creamy vanilla from baked custard tart, finishing with lapsang souchong and treacle tart.
Finish
Medium-length finish, richly infused with wood smoke, peach and hazelnut, leaving a warm, lingering orchard-sweetness.
