The Macallan Decade V James Bond 60th Anniversary Release is a unique single malt whisky crafted to honor the 60th anniversary of James Bond in cinema. Bottled in 2022 at an ABV of 43.7%, this 700ml whisky is the fifth bottle in a series of six, with each bottle representing a decade of James Bond films. Created by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell, this expression is a true testament to the artistry of whisky making. This special release is beautifully packaged with imagery from the Daniel Craig Bond films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, reflecting the dynamic and iconic moments from these movies. Matured in oak casks at the esteemed Macallan distillery in Speyside, Scotland, this whisky offers a sensory journey that’s as thrilling as a Bond adventure. On the nose, you’ll find an invigorating bouquet of zesty lemons and limes, sherbet, vanilla, coconut, and dried fruits. The palate reveals a rich tapestry of flavors, starting with orange sherbet, oak, and a hint of ginger spice. As it evolves, expect notes of dark chocolate, apple pie, and a drizzle of honey. The finish is sweet and long, offering complex layers that linger beautifully. Part of the Macallan x James Bond 60th Anniversary series, this release celebrates both 007 and The Macallan as modern innovators with a shared Scottish heritage. Each bottle’s packaging features an original illustrative design and color corresponding to the decade it represents. Decade V's design highlights a dramatic car sequence from Casino Royale (2006) and a digitally sketched rooftop chase in Quantum Of Solace (2008). This collection showcases the most iconic moments across six decades of Bond, each decade encapsulated in its own packaging. The Macallan Decade V James Bond 60th Anniversary Release is an ode to Daniel Craig's early work as the legendary character, incorporating production sketches from Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum Of Solace (2008).

The Macallan Decade V James Bond 60th Anniversary Release stands out with its rich texture and bold flavors, making it a noteworthy addition to the recent Macallan releases. Although its flavor profile is quite impressive with its berry jam fruitiness and complex layers, it does tend to become thin and flat if left in the glass for too long or if taken with water. Despite this, the whisky’s connection to the iconic James Bond series and its exquisite packaging make it a desirable collectible for both whisky enthusiasts and Bond fans alike.
