    Macallan The Archival Series
    Folio 3
    Lot #1360057

    The much anticipated 2018 limited release from The Macallan. No more than 2,000 bottles were made available with very limited numbers being released during the Spirit of Speyside festival and the few who are feeling lucky with the ballot. Presented in a lovely book-shaped tin which features two people playing on the snow-topped Ben Rinnes. The Folio 3 continues the ongoing Archival Series remembering the legendary advertising campaigns of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s that took The Macallan to a wider audience for the first time. A collaboration with the creative director, David Holmes, and copywriter, Nick Salaman - who masterminded the original campaign - Folio 3 leads with an advertising feature that celebrates the idea that whisky is best made in cold weather.

    Macallan

    Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, the Elchies Distillery as it was known initially, did not become the Macallan-Glenlivet in name until 1892. Since then, it has undergone massive expansion with Edrington and William Grant & Sons combining forces in 1999 to purchase Highland Distillers for £601 million. By then, the reputation of the distillery for its sherry-led style of whisky was already firmly in place. The new ownership model has enabled the distillery to produce new ranges, reach out to new demographics and establish itself as an international brand of quality. Bottles are Macallan are increasingly sought after for their commodity value and not the contents, which often are of high quality. Moving to a new distillery site in recent years, will in the long-term, allow Macallan to produce more and if needed, the old distillery sits idle despite being capable of producing 11 million litres before it closed in 2018.
