Macallan Folio 7
The Story: “The Boffins Baffled”
The advertisement featured on the packaging tells the humorous story of a group of scientists (the “boffins”) who were invited to the distillery to explain why The Macallan was so special. Unable to find a scientific rationale for the “magic” occurring inside the sherry casks, the scientists were depicted as being completely perplexed—eventually insisting on taking an entire cask back to their laboratory for “further research.”
