The Macallan Archival Series Folio #8 Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

The eighth release in The Macallan Archival Series commemorates the legendary advert of the 1980s 'The Colossus of Nose' that playfully alludes to the magnificent aroma emitted by the King of Malts, otherwise known as The Macallan.

The Macallan Archival Series revisits the legendary advertisements from the 1980s and 1990s, breathing new life into much-loved campaigns. These adverts introduced The Macallan to a wider audience for the first time and now have a moment to captivate once more. 

The series brings together stories, anecdotes, drawings and photographs to showcase how The Macallan grew from a remote farmstead on the River Spey to become a world-renowned single malt whisky recognised for its incomparable craftsmanship and creativity.

Today, Folio 8 breathes new life into this timeless campaign. It is accompanied by a special booklet commemorating the brand’s vintage advertising—plus digital content—all presented in a beautiful book-shaped box. 

It celebrates the rich heritage of The Macallan – and one of its most unforgettable advertising campaigns from decades past.
