Macallan Red Collection 50 Year Old Whisky

The Macallan Red Collection is a limited-edition series of extremely rare whiskies which celebrates the history and craftmanship of the distillery. The name Red Collection pays homage to the colour red which is throughout their history.

The significance of the colour red runs deep in The Macallan's history. Tracing its origins back to Alexander Reid, the founder of the distillery in 1824. Reid, a farmer and teacher, bore the surname meaning 'the red one' in Scots, originally linked to red hair.

Fast forward almost a century to 1903, Roderick Kemp, The Macallan's owner, introduced The Macallan Choice Old range. This distinguished line was shipped in cases adorned with a distinctive red print. This sets it apart from the distillery's existing whiskies packaged in black ink.

Macallan Red Collection 50 year old whisky is an extremely collectable rare whisky which has great investment potential.
