Individual Bottling Notes: - Macallan Decades Collection – Twenties: Recreates the drier, less toffee-sweet style of Macallan from the 1920s, when most spirit was used as “top dressing” in blends and only a few casks matured for longer.
- Macallan Decades Collection – Thirties: Captures the peatier, less spicy profile of the 1930s, when coal shortages and the Spanish Civil War led to more peat-dried barley and fewer sherry casks.
- Macallan Decades Collection – Forties: Replicates the less spicy, peatier whisky of the 1940s, when World War II forced more frequent cask re-use and increased reliance on peat.
- Macallan Decades Collection – Fifties: Emulates the 1950s Macallan, rich in dried fruit character with subtle hints of peat—a style shaped by post-war optimism and tradition.
