The Macallan Announces Diamonds Are Forever 55th Anniversary Release
The Macallan has unveiled The Macallan Diamonds Are Forever 55th Anniversary Release, a limited edition single malt that marks 55 years since the James Bond film hit theaters.
Distilled in 2007 and matured for 18 years, the whisky is crafted from sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, complemented with American oak casks which previously held red wine, and is bottled at 45.5% ABV.
The design of the bottle and presentation box draws directly from the Diamonds Are Forever production art in the official Bond archives, including the laser-beam satellite and the film’s opening title sequence.
The Macallan Diamonds are Forever 55th Anniversary Release is described as having aromas of “sweet polished oak, vanilla bean, and rich dried fruits.” The palate exhibits notes of “creamy vanilla and caramel, hints of cocoa powder coated champagne truffles, coffee, dried fruit like figs, berries and apricots, and subtle spices.” The finish is “long and refined with a lingering warmth.”
The Macallan Diamonds Are Forever 55th Anniversary Release is available now via themacallan.com and at The Macallan Estate Boutique for a suggested retail price of $750. It will also be available at select national and local U.S. retailers starting March 2026.
