The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Decade I is the first of six limited-edition bottles released in September 2022 to mark sixty years of Bond films. The pack carries the 1960s: original sketches from the franchise archives including the Little Nellie combat storyboard, Goldfinger set designs and the Thunderball jet-pack drawing. The whisky inside is identical across all six Decades — a single malt created by Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell at 43.7% ABV, the producer’s stated homage to 007.

Nº 01

The Elemental Distinction

01

The first decade of the six-bottle release — the era that began with Sean Connery’s 1962 debut in Dr. No.

02

Pack art from the archives: the Little Nellie combat storyboard from You Only Live Twice (1967), Fort Knox interior and Laser Room set designs from Goldfinger (1964), and dummy jet pack drawings from Thunderball (1965).

03

One whisky across six packs: Kirsteen Campbell’s single malt, bottled at 43.7% ABV as the producer's stated homage to 007.

04

Natural colour, named Suisse gold by the producer; bottled without an age statement.

05

Each pack is colour washed with a trending colour of its decade — this steel slate tone opens the collection.

06

Released September 2022 as a six-bottle series; the decades, not the liquid, are what change.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Single Malt Character

I

Sensory Profile

The producer opens the profile at the nose: gentleness and elegance first, with the depth arriving underneath on time — Kirsteen Campbell’s own framing of the spirit. Identical liquid fills all six Decades; the Suisse gold colour is natural.

II

Strategic Position

Openers set series logic, and this one states it plainly: the decade changes on the outside, the whisky does not. It hands the run to the Moore-era Decade II, inside the wider Macallan range at Midnight Whiskey.

Collector Note & Index

Vault Provenance

→

First-Decade Pack Anchor

First-decade packs anchor the run the way first editions anchor a shelf: the 1962 starting point is the series’ whole premise, and this is the bottle that carries it.

→

1960s Archive Sketches

The archive material here is the earliest — hand-drawn set concepts and a technical drawing of a real working prop, the Bell Rocket Belt flown by test pilot Bill Suitor before the art department built Connery’s replica.

Condition of the illustrated tube carries most of the collectible weight; the single malt inside matches its five siblings across the release.

Production Methodology

Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell created one single malt for the entire release, bottled at 43.7% ABV as the producer’s stated nod to 007, at a natural colour The Macallan names Suisse gold. Decade I’s pack explores the archive of the 1960s: the storyboard of Little Nellie’s combat sequence from You Only Live Twice, the Fort Knox interior concept and Laser Room set design from Goldfinger, and the technical drawing of the dummy jet pack from Thunderball — a prop whose working original, the Bell Rocket Belt, actually flew. The packaging is colour washed with a trending colour of the decade, and the era it honours ran from the 1962 debut through 1971.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release?

It is a 2022 collection of six bottles from The Macallan, one for each decade of James Bond films from 1962 to 2022. Each pack carries original illustrative artwork from that decade's franchise archive, colour washed in a trending colour of its era. The single malt inside is the same across all six, created by Master Whisky Maker Kirsteen Campbell at 43.7% ABV.

What is on the Decade I pack?

Decade I carries the 1960s: the Little Nellie combat sequence storyboard from You Only Live Twice (1967), the Interior Fort Knox concept and Laser Room set design from Goldfinger (1964), and a technical drawing of the dummy jet pack worn in Thunderball (1965), per The Macallan's own description of the packaging.

Why is the whisky bottled at 43.7% ABV?

The Macallan states the strength as an homage to 007 — the agent number rendered in the ABV. All six Decade bottles carry the same 43.7%, because the whisky is one spirit across the entire release; the packs, not the liquid, mark the decades.
