Presented in a distinctive book-shaped tin alongside a commemorative booklet, The Macallan Folio 7 is the seventh edition in the highly collectible Archival Series. This limited edition release pays tribute to the 1984 advertising campaign “The Boffins Baffled,” a whimsical portrayal of scientists visiting The Macallan distillery for the first time. Created by Art Director David Holmes and Copywriter Nick Salaman with illustration by Mary Hogan (née Roberts), the campaign is reimagined in this release, celebrating the curiosity, tradition, and creative flair that define The Macallan’s legacy.

This single malt is crafted to reflect the spirit of the original advert — complex, layered, and captivating. Matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks, Folio 7 offers a rich, full-bodied profile with hallmark Macallan depth and warmth.
