The Macallan 79 Years Old is the latest addition to The Red Collection, an exquisite range of distinguished and rare single malt whiskies, shaped by the actions of our founder Alexander Reid and key characters in The Macallan’s history.
A testament to the incomparable craftsmanship, knowledge and skills nurtured by The Macallan’s Whisky Mastery Team, with notes of antique oak, fragrant peat smoke and creamy panna cotta.
The Macallan Red Collection is an exquisite range of distinguished and rare single malt whiskies, crafted from some of the world’s oldest and rarest casks.
The distinctive red colour is inspired by the significance of red throughout the history of The Macallan. Today, our Whisky Mastery Team upholds our founding principles, sharing Alexander’s belief that small stills create greater flavour and character.
Distilled decades ago, in The Macallan’s curiously small stills, each expression has been matured in sherry seasoned oak casks under the watchful eye of several generations of whisky makers.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Autumn in the forest
Nose
Resinous, sweet antique oak and fragrant peat smoke give way to rich heather honey, braised stone fruits and creamy panna cotta. There's suggestions of dried mango, baked fig, soft citrus zests and thyme which emphasise the incredible complexity
Palate
Elegant and integrated peat smoke fading to pineapple, bramble jam and black tea. Remarkable depth from red grape skins, cedar wood, gentle incense and treacle toffee
Finish
A very long and intricate finish with lingering wood smoke, dark chocolate and a twist of grapefruit
