Folio 4: The fourth edition in the Archival Series from The Macallan.  Folio 4 remembers the legendary advertising campaigns of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s that brought The Macallan to the public’s attention outside of Scotland.

The Malt.”  Bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl.

Folio 5: The fifth release from the highly collectable Macallan Archival Series, an iconic series that celebrates the classic advertising campaigns of the 1970s, 80s and 90s.The Macallan Folio 5 pays homage to an advert featuring the tale of a “Luggy Bonnet” with the words “Keep this knot firmly tied”.The sketched image recollects a scene of acquaintances at the end of a day on Speyside when one sportsman talks of a so-called “disaster”, missing the opportunity of a dram of The Macallan from the "Laird" as a result of his hat covering his ears! Bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl.

Folio 6: The sixth release from the highly collectable Macallan Archival Series, an iconic series that celebrates the classic advertising campaigns of the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Folio 6 celebrates a charmingly witty advert that "cleverly featured ‘The Chairman’ as a Scotsman dancing the Highland fling over a pen and brush, the symbols of the advertising team of Holmes and Salaman." At the time, The Macallan Chairman was Allan Shiach - the resulting campaign remains one of the brand’s most memorable, and to many, the most amusing! Bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl.
