Description

The Macallan Diamonds Are Forever 007 “55th Anniversary Release” is a limited-edition, 18-year-old single malt Scotch whisky launched in February 2026 to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the iconic 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. This special release serves as the official follow-up to the highly successful 2022 Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Collection.

Distilled fittingly in the year 2007 (007), the expression breaks new ground as one of the distillery’s most unique experimental maturations, capturing the narrative twists and cinematic heritage of the classic film.

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.
