"Macallan 50 Year Old The Red Collection It may be hard to imagine today; but for much of the 20th century; Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously; this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell; Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours; Glenfiddich and Glenlivet; Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact; that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018; a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate; boasting 36 copper pot stills.   This impressive 50 year old was launched in October 2020 as part of The Red Collection. The range also includes a 40; 60; 71; 74 and 78 year old; some of the oldest whisky ever bottled by the distillery. The colour Red has a myriad of significance for Macallan; from its founder's name; Alexander Reid; meaning "the red one;" to the the label aesthetic being an homage to the oldest vintages bottled from the distillery in the late 1970s and Allan Shiach marking them with red ribbons in the 1980s. The 50 year old was created by Whisky Maker; Kirsteen Campbell."
