About this bottle
The Macallan The Archival Series - Folio 3 is a highly collectible, limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky released in 2018 as the third installment in the Archival Series, which pays homage to the brand's vintage advertising campaigns. The original release was a distillery exclusive, limited to approximately 2,000 bottles.
This 2018 release is presented in a distinctive book-shaped presentation tin box that showcases a pencil-style illustration from a Victorian-era Punch magazine advert used in a late eighties/early nineties Macallan advertising campaign. The campaign celebrated the idea that whisky is best made in cold weather, featuring two people playing on the snow-covered slopes of Ben Rinnes.
ABV: 43%
