About the product
Celebrate six decades of cinema’s most iconic spy with this limited edition single malt from The Macallan. Decade V captures the Daniel Craig era of the 2000s, with packaging inspired by the dramatic car sequence from Casino Royale (2006) and a digitally sketched rooftop chase from Quantum of Solace (2008).
Created by Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell to reflect Bond’s character, this exceptional Speyside single malt is consistent across the entire six bottle collection. Bottled at 43.7% ABV, it shows a Suisse gold colour and delivers a refined, stylish experience.
The nose opens fresh and vibrant with lemon and lime, a sprinkle of sherbet, sweet vanilla and coconut, plus a hint of dried fig and raisin. On the palate, orange zest and fizzy sherbet meet gentle oak and subtle ginger spice, deepening into dark chocolate, figs and baked apple tart with a honey drizzle. The finish is sweet, long and layered with complexity.
A striking collector’s piece that unites two legends of craft, style and enduring appeal.
