About this bottle
The Macallan 40 Year Old - The Red Collection (2025 Release) is a highly rare and prestigious single malt Scotch whisky, part of a collection celebrating The Macallan's heritage and the symbolic significance of the colour red. This specific release offers a unique tasting profile, building on previous 40-year-old editions.
This expression is a testament to four decades of maturation in sherry-seasoned European oak casks, resulting in a complex and elegant whisky. The 2025 release is bottled at a refined 44.2% ABV, a different strength from previous editions.
