The Macallan James Bond 60th Anniversary Release, Decade III

Decade III of The Macallan's six-part James Bond 60th Anniversary Collection — representing the 1980s era of the Bond franchise, from Roger Moore's final films through Timothy Dalton's grittier reinvention of 007.

The 1980s Bond decade covered by Decade III spans For Your Eyes Only (1981) through Licence to Kill (1989) — a transitional era that saw the franchise shift from Moore's comic-inflected Bond to Dalton's harder-edged interpretation. The Macallan assembled a distinct sherry oak expression for this decade, connected to the specific Bond era through decade-specific packaging that bridges the Macallan luxury identity with the Bond franchise's evolving 1980s aesthetic.

The full James Bond 60th Anniversary Collection comprises six Macallan single malts — each a limited release commemorating one decade of 007 films and the franchise's 60-year heritage. The collaboration reflects the shared values of craftsmanship, precision, and British heritage that both The Macallan and the Bond franchise embody.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Bond films does Decade III cover? The 1980s Bond era: For Your Eyes Only (1981), Octopussy (1983), A View to a Kill (1985) — all Roger Moore — and The Living Daylights (1987), Licence to Kill (1989) — Timothy Dalton's two films. This decade saw Bond transition from Moore's witty style to Dalton's more serious interpretation.
• How does Decade III differ from Decade II in the glass? Each Decade release is a distinct Macallan sherry oak expression assembled specifically for that decade's release. The liquid character reflects The Macallan's cask selection for each edition rather than the films themselves, making each a unique collectible expression.
• Is this available as a complete set? The full six-decade set is available when all six Decades are in stock. Decades II, III, and IV are currently available.
• Is Decade III still available? Yes — a limited release not restocked once exhausted.
