Description

Product details

The Macallan Archival Series Folio 8 is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky that pays homage to the brand’s iconic advertising campaigns of the 1980s and 1990s. This limited edition commemorates the “Colossus of Nose” advertisement, which playfully highlighted the whisky’s rich aromatic profile. Crafted from a selection of first-fill and refill European oak sherry casks, Folio 8 embodies The Macallan’s signature sherry-forward character. Bottled at 43% ABV, it presents a vintage terracotta hue, reflecting its depth and complexity.

On the nose, Folio 8 offers enticing aromas of golden sultanas, ripe dates, sweet berry compote, toffee brittle, lemon peel, cinnamon, and subtle hints of anise. The palate reveals layers of sweet raisins and sultanas, complemented by ginger, citrus zest, toffee, and sweet oak nuances. The finish is long and rich, leaving a warm impression of sweet oak spices. This exquisite whisky pairs wonderfully with rich desserts such as dark chocolate torte or spiced fruitcake, and also complements savory dishes like aged cheeses or roasted game meats. With only 450 bottles available in the United States, Folio 8 is a rare collectible for whisky enthusiasts.
