Macallan Travel Series 1950s Fifties Single Speyside Malt Whisky 50 cl 40%

Macallan Travel Series 1950s Fifties is an elegant and balanced interpretation of Macallan’s style during the post-war economic recovery – with a more pronounced sherry character, rounder body, and subtle spice.

This bottling is part of Macallan’s Travel Series and was created by the distillery’s Master Distiller to reflect the whisky produced during the 1950s. As access to sherry casks improved after the war, Macallan returned to its classic style, focusing on first-fill sherry and reduced peat use. The result is a softer, fruitier, and more harmonious whisky with a clear Speyside identity.

Macallan Fifties is the most classic expression in the Travel Series quartet, where the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s editions focus on peat and wartime constraints. The Fifties edition marks a return to elegance, sherry richness, and balance – a style that would come to define Macallan for the remainder of the 20th century. Listen to our podcast:
