The Macallan 18 Years Old DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER 55th Anniversary Release Single Malt 2007 45,5% Vol. 0,7 l + GB is an exceptional Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottling from the renowned Speyside distillery The Macallan. This special edition combines the traditional art of whisky from The Macallan with the legendary James Bond film series. The release celebrates the 55th anniversary of the film "Diamonds Are Forever" and builds on the collaboration between The Macallan and the famous secret agent, which has already been honored with the Six Decades of Bond Collection. Distilled in 2007 and matured for over 18 years, this single malt Scotch whisky presents itself as a complex and elegant special bottling with an exceptional selection of casks.
For this Macallan 18 Years Old Diamonds Are Forever release, the Macallan Whisky Mastery Team, led by Whisky Maker Russell Greig, selected a special combination of sherry-seasoned oak casks, red wine oak casks and specially developed hybrid sherry-oak casks combining both European and American oak. This innovative cask selection reflects key elements of the film: American oak is symbolic of the iconic scenes in Las Vegas and California, while the deep sherry notes allude to Bond's renowned connoisseurship of solera sherry. The natural color of the whisky is reminiscent of the Aztec sandstone of the Nevada desert and underlines the visual connection to the film set. This collector's bottling is supplied in a high-quality gift box with a design featuring motifs from the film production - including lasers, Bond symbols and iconic film scenes - providing a look behind the scenes of the creative development of "Diamonds Are Forever".
