The fifth decade of a collection celebrating The Six Decades of Bond.

The collection is an exhibition of the most iconic moments across the six decades of Bond; each decade encapsulated on its own packaging. Bringing to life the innovations and inventions of James Bond across the years, the packaging has been colour washed with one of the trending colours of the decade it represents. 

ABOUT THE RELEASE
This exceptional single malt whisky has been created by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell to reflect the character of James Bond. A force of nature defined by his Scottish heritage, he carries himself with modesty and humility. 

Like James Bond, the expression exudes a sense of style and maturity which has evolved over the years. The whisky is consistent within all six bottles.

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).

Maker Notes

With the courage to create our own traditions, and the conviction to remain true to ourselves and our home, Courage & Conviction sets the new standard for American Single Malt whisky, rivaling the finest in the world.

Using the highest quality malted barley and fresh spring water fed from the Blue Ridge Mountains, our spirit was developed to leverage Virginia’s climate, allowing the broad temperature shifts to add depth to our whisky. Hand-hammered copper pot stills crafted in Scotland are used to distill our spirit using time-honored techniques. What makes us a distinctly American whisky, and defines our signature taste, is our unique combination of casks aged in Virginia’s climate. Aging in exceptional casks adds intensity and complexity to the spirit.

Cuvée casks 

This innovative barrel is sourced from premium European red wine producers. After the wine is removed, the cask is broken down, the interior shaved, re-toasted and re-charred, and then put back together again. The re-toasting and re-charring of the cask energizes the wood sugars and brings forward barrel spice, bright red fruit and toasted pecan.

Aged a minimum of four years, this 100% malted barley whisky is matured in specialty Cuvée wine casks. The casks originate from premium red wine producers, and the interior is shaved, re-toasted and re-charred before putting spirit into the cask for maturation.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Raspberry and cherry

PALATE: Brown sugar, cocoa and baking spice

FINISH: Creamy and exceptionally smooth

Girolamo Luxardo moved to what is today known as Zadar, Croatia in 1817 as a consular representative of Sardinia. It was his wife that became enamored with the local Dalmatian liqueur, the Rosolio Maraschino. In 1821 Girolamo opened a distillery and soon after received a certificate from the emperor of Austria that acknowledged its exceptional quality. Their liqueurs became known far and wide along with their growing and impressive range which included the Original Maraschino Cherries, Limoncello, and a cherry liqueur. By 1913 the company had grown considerably, opening a new state-of-the-art distillery. The operation along with the Luxardo bloodline barely made it through the Second World War, but a new distillery with its very own cherry orchards thrives today in Torreglia, the Veneto region of Northeast Italy. It employs traditional copper-pot stills while constantly upgrading and investing to stay at the forefront of the industry. The company remains family-owned and is ran by the fifth, sixth, and seventh generations of the Luxardo family. Their flagship Maraschino liqueur and a range of award-winning products are a cocktail staple, along with cherries, syrups, wines, brandies, and many others. The Premium Italian Sour Cherry Gin is a London dry style gin with an infusion of the fruit that is at the core of Luxardo the marasca cherries. The fruitiness of the tart cherry juice goes incredibly well with the juniper-forward gin, and a dash of spice rounds it all up. A total of 9 botanicals are used in the recipe, including iris, licorice, cinnamon, cinchona, and bitter orange. These are left in an alcoholic infusion for one day, before being distilled and infused with the cherry juice and sweetened lightly.

Lovingly handcrafted and aged in Kentucky, Pinhook Bourbon was established in 2014 and has produced several small-batch bottlings in their newly restored Castle & Key distillery in Frankfort, KY, to much critical acclaim. What makes their line unique is the brand's three distinctive characteristics: its limited availability, mass appeal, and strong ties to Kentucky's legacy of horse racing. Each release of Pinhook Bourbon is named after a thoroughbred owned by Bourbon Lane Stable. The label also features the horses racing records on their brand's website. Every fall Pinhook features an annual vintage of Pinhook Bourbon and Pinhook Rye, each of which is inspired by a thoroughbred horse. Each blend is as unique as the horse on the label. "Pinhooking" refers to an old Kentucky term for purchasing young thoroughbreds, holding them until they mature, and selling them when they are ready to run. Successful pinhooks much like whiskey are made on instinct, experience, an appreciation of quality, and a little luck. Pinhook bourbons and ryes are handcrafted to reflect the richness of the Kentucky soil and the character of its beautiful horse country. The 2020 rye expression is Pinhook Tiz Rye Time 4YO Vertical Series, a straight rye whiskey that is crafted from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Bottled at 97 proof, it's the first of a new annual-release series. "It will be exciting to follow the maturation of both rye and bourbon over the course of 9 years and understand how each style of whiskey progresses individually as well as in comparison to the other," says Master Blender Sean Josephs. "The 4 Year old rye at 97 proof is already showing great complexity, depth and structure and I am fascinated to go on this whiskey journey which will culminate with a 12 year old rye in 2028."

Creating this exceptional whisky requires craftsmanship and mastery of centuries old traditions.

The finest raw ingredients, mastery of the art of distilling premier spirits and the selection of only the finest oak casks, each over 25 years of age and chosen at the peak of maturation.

The casks are married together in batches and then finished in sherry casks for final flourish of spice, depth and complexity.

Myers’s Platinum White Rum is made from Jamaican sugarcane that is cooked into molasses. Then, the molasses is fermented and distilled using both continuous and pot still distillation. It is then aged in white oak barrels, carefully blended, and filtered to remove color and smoothen taste.

In the realm of premium tequilas, Mi Familia Flores Reserva Suprema Añejo stands as a shining testament to the rich tradition of tequila production in Mexico. Crafted with unwavering dedication and an artistry passed down through generations, this exquisite añejo tequila exemplifies the pinnacle of agave spirit craftsmanship.

A Legacy of Excellence
Mi Familia Flores, a respected and long-established tequila-producing family, has a storied history dating back generations. Rooted in the heartland of tequila production, Jalisco, Mexico, the Flores family has dedicated themselves to the cultivation of the finest blue agave and the art of distillation. Their Reserva Suprema Añejo is the culmination of decades of expertise and a deep-seated commitment to quality.

The Agave Journey
The journey towards Mi Familia Flores Reserva Suprema Añejo begins in the agave fields, where only the choicest blue agave plants are carefully selected for harvesting. These mature agave plants, known as "piñas," are harvested by skilled jimadores who have an intimate understanding of when the agave is at its peak ripeness.

Slow and Artful Aging
What truly sets Reserva Suprema Añejo apart is its aging process. After being harvested, the agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional ovens, allowing the sugars to develop and the flavors to deepen. The extracted juices are then fermented and distilled with meticulous attention to detail.

The real magic occurs during the aging process, which takes place in carefully selected oak barrels. Mi Familia Flores Reserva Suprema Añejo is aged for a minimum of three years, allowing it to develop a rich and complex flavor profile. During this time, the tequila interacts with the wood, gaining character, color, and a smoothness that sets it apart from younger tequilas.

A Symphony of Flavors
Upon opening a bottle of Mi Familia Flores Reserva Suprema Añejo, one is immediately struck by its deep amber hue and inviting aroma. This tequila boasts a harmonious blend of sweet caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, with a subtle hint of spice and agave. The first sip is a revelation, as the complex layers of flavor dance on the palate, providing a symphony of tastes that only the finest añejo tequilas can offer.

A Sip to Savor
This tequila is best savored slowly, preferably in a proper tequila glass, allowing its complexity to fully unfold. Whether sipped neat or enjoyed in a carefully crafted cocktail, Mi Familia Flores Reserva Suprema Añejo is an experience to be cherished.

HISTORY & CURIOSITY

For this year’s release, Trudiann Branker looked to Madeira, the beautiful Portuguese island off the coast of Morocco, that has made an iconic fortified wine for more than 300 years. Using only column distilled rums, she placed the liquid in seasoned Madeira wine casks six years ago, carefully observing how the rum aged over time.
The result is a velvety and generous blend that unfolds with every sip. The liquid has deep golden hues and the nose showcases pear, oak, grapefruit, vanilla and butterscotch. On the palate, the bold column distilled rum is married with the subtlety of Madeira wine notes from the barrel, including honey, grapes, pear, citrus rind and dried fruit.
The Master Blender Collection: The Madeira Cask Expression is bottled at 55% ABV and is non chill filtered.
