Macallan, The Archival Series, Folio 7
The Macallan Folio 7
The “Archival Series” from The Macallan is a limited-edition, distillery-only release that recreates the distillery’s old advertising styles.
Folio 7, the seventh release in the series, features a 1984 campaign about scientists who were invited to the distillery to taste Macallan single malt whisky for the first time. Art director David Holmes and copywriter Nick Salaman were tasked with capturing the brand’s essence in the 1984 advertisement. After learning about the scientists’ visit to the Macallan estate, Holmes, Salaman, and illustrator Mary Hogan (née Roberts) created the advertisement known as “The Boffins Baffled,” reimagined in the Folio 7 whisky.
Euan Kennedy, The Macallan’s lead whisky maker, said, “Crafted to pay tribute to the magic and curiosity of the ‘Boffins Baffled’ advertisement from the 1980s, Folio 7 is a captivating single malt whisky that truly reflects the iconic status of the artwork it celebrates.”
As with previous Folio releases, the bottle is presented in an elegant, book-shaped tin box with a book inside.
