The Macallan Romantica Collection Romantica by Valerio Adami is an exceptionally rare 1986 vintage single malt Scotch whisky released in 2026 to honor the 100th anniversary of The Macallan 1926. Drawn from a single sherry-seasoned European oak cask from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, this collector’s release is one of only 86 bottles created for the Valerio Adami edition.

The artwork, titled Romantica, reflects Adami’s distinctive visual style and connects themes of time, memory, and The Macallan’s legacy. The composition features a lady, moon, and stars inspired by a 1986 sketch by Adami, with the figure representing Janet Harbinson, custodian of The Macallan during the era when The Macallan 1926 was distilled.

Bottled at 48.6% ABV with entirely natural color, this ultra-limited whisky offers elegant sherry-cask depth with bright fruit, warm spice, antique oak, gentle woodsmoke, dried fruit, and cacao. Presented in a handcrafted European oak box, this rare Macallan release is designed for serious whisky collectors, luxury gifting, and exceptional single malt Scotch showcases.
