Description
This single malt celebrates the legacy of 007:
On October 5th, 1962, the first official James Bond film was shown in cinemas. The film Dr No was inspired by Ian Fleming’s spy novels and the film was a box office hit. Thus a legend was born, launching one of the world’s most successful film franchises.
Six decades later, the fascination and love of James Bond - a cultural icon of heroic resolve - is stronger than ever. In the past sixty years there have been twenty-five official James Bond films, led by six different actors.
The remarkable James Bond 60th Anniversary Release is a celebration of 007 and The Macallan as modern innovators linked by their Scottish heritage. Each bottle’s packaging features an original illustrative design and colour to denote the decade it represents.
This lot includes the following 70cl bottlings:
Macallan - James Bond 60th Anniversary - Decade I: The 1960s was a singular decade for James Bond. The debut of the suave spy icon onto the silver screen in 1962 was embodied by the inimitable Sean Connery, who went on to appear in six films across the next ten years. Resting only when George Lazenby starred in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in 1969, Sir Sean was to roar back in triumph in 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever.
The pack design includes sketches from Goldfinger (1964), You Only Live Twice (1967) where Little Nellie is in a combat sequence, and the dummy jet pack worn by Bond in Thunderball (1965).
Macallan - James Bond 60th Anniversary - Decade II: The 1970s saw the rise of Roger Moore’s Bond. He brought different, mischievous facets and humour to the character, cheering up a somewhat dire decade.
A man for the times, he overcame film adversaries with elegant aplomb. While the business of making movies remained as serious as whisky distilling, he reminded us that life is about the enjoyment of the finer, better still the finest, of all that it offers.
The packaging design includes sketches and storyboards from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Stromborg’s Atlantis marine research lab, and various space station concepts from Moonraker (1979).
Macallan - James Bond 60th Anniversary - Decade III: In the 1980s Roger Moore’s playfulness gave way to an altogether different tone with the arrival of Timothy Dalton as the next Bond. He was frequently seen re-reading the Ian Fleming texts on set, determined to capture the author’s original character study.
Dalton’s brooding depth revealed new levels of the character. Through The Living Daylights and A Licence to Kill, Bond’s stoic integrity telegraphed the pressures of constant vigilance. He fulfilled his duties heroically, his burden willingly shouldered.
The packaging design features a logo concept art from Octopussy (1983), an A.T.A.C Operations area sketch and storyboard sequence for the film For Your Eyes Only (1981).
Macallan - James Bond 60th Anniversary - Decade IV: In 1995, Bond arrived in the shape of Pierce Brosnan. He brought a new sensitivity to the classic, winning Bond formula. Productions grew more complex and the essence of James Bond’s world was relayed with devoted attention to detail.
The packaging design features a pre-title action sequence storyboard from GoldenEye (1995) and the concept for a stealth ship in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).
Macallan - James Bond 60th Anniversary - Decade V: Leaving the 90s behind, Daniel Craig embodies the Bond of the noughties. From his first appearance in Casino Royale, never was a card game presented so stylishly and with more tension in any other film. The setting, ingredients, character and dedication to craft combine to deliver an utterly compelling result.
The packaging design features a dramatic car sequence from Casino Royale (2006), and a digitally sketched rooftop chase in Quantum Of Solace (2008).
Macallan - James Bond 60th Anniversary - Decade VI: In 2012 Skyfall brought the audience back to James Bond’s childhood home, but also tragically destroyed it. Daniel Craig’s performances endeared further notes of domesticity, deep love and family.
Making the character more relatable than ever, Craig reveals the vulnerable humanity at Bond’s core, without compromising any trademark resolve or physical capability.
The packaging design features the childhood home Skyfall Lodge in Skyfall (2012), and a Day of the Dead poster from Spectre (2015).
