Shaken or stirred? Well, neither as it turns out. Eagle-eyed James Bond watchers will know that England’s most dangerous man is partial to a nip or two of whisky, and some of Scotland’s finest producers are paying homage to 60 years of 007 films the best way they know how.

The Macallan whisky makers have released a very special collection of six limited edition bottles encasing a single malt whisky in unique packs, each featuring an original illustrative design and colour to denote the decade, and the James Bond, it represents. The packaging and bottles bring to life the development of the films in a behind-the-scenes exploration of the James Bond archives.

On the, er, bond that links 007 and Scotland (and its whisky) Jaume Ferras, global creative director for The Macallan, said “The Macallan is James Bond’s whisky of choice and as two renowned global brands, we share many synergies, most notably as modern innovators linked by our Scottish heritage.” 

And who could forget Bond’s slow descent into alcohol-fuelled madness at his family’s Scottish estate, Skyfall?

The ultimate collector’s items, The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release is perfect to drink now, to add to your backbar, or as a gift for the Bond fan in your life. 

The Macallan Bond Series has a RRP of $2,020 and can be purchased at The Macallan website here.
