It's '62 Macallan in Skyfall.
Well I know the one in the film was 50 years old.
Personally I'd go for the Vodka anyway.
Well it's a 10 year Macallan so that makes it 02 not 62.
Is the year of DAD a bad omen as to its vintage?
After living in Russia for years cant bring myself to drink vodka that isn't ice cold. I'm going with the Macallan and sooner rather than later as we look a total shambles - this is Young Boys not f*****g Barca!!!

Mcallans all round chaps - guess I'll have to drink yours. The mighty reds are back slaying one of Europes giants!!!!
I'd happily order this over a Glenmorangie of the same year. Remember, no ice and a couple if drops of water is the way to drink it.
Actually I might finish the bottle as a last minute equaliser goes in for the team with the gayest name in world football. Christ we're poor.
Ok mods I think this can be closed now.
God I've missed you

I agree - I found this much more jarring than the more publicised use of Heineken, the use of which was subtle and natural in the context of the film.
Very valid point. I found it rather irksome when Silva says 'A particular favourite of yours I believe?' when it has never been mentioned in any book or film up to this point. In fact does Flemings Bond ever drink a single malt? I suppose he probably has but I certainly cant recall off the top of my head. Mostly when he drinks spirits its vodka.
Now if they had had him say 'its a pre war Wolfschmidt from Riga - a particular favourite of yours I believe?' my cup would have runneth over but alas such Flemingian references are few and far between these days.
Yes like you, I am a purist, I wish they'd stop with the obvious product placement & go for more of the essence of Fleming's creation.
Much like you said it would have lifted this film in the eye's of us faithful to the original creation, However l don't think a small Herbal Liqueur manufacturer would stump up the cash to justify it's placement in a mega bucks movie these days, it seems sometimes that every bit of creative integrity has to be slaughtered on the alter of commercialism.
One day my friends, one day.
Has someone one this site ever tested it ? Is it that good ?
I agree 100% on the latest post.
I'm reading all the books now in order and up 'till now (TMWGG) he hasn't had a drop of Scotch, mainly because he drinks Bourbon and branchwater. As I said in another thread, I don't know why, but I do have an inkling Fleming didn't like Scotch.
Anyway, I prefer Tormore. And indeed, do follow Dublo's drinking instructions.
Oh, and at the same time, TheWizard is right about the Vodka as well. Why do pubs not put those bottles in their freezers! I don't want Ice, I want it icecold!
A gentleman after my own heart, only way to serve Vodka is neat straight from the freezer in a shot glass, either Russian, Latvian or Swedish but only if brewed in specified country, never ever Smirnoff as it's brewed by Diagio in Scotland. Sorry James another major product placement.
My Favourite Whiskey is The Balvenie "DoubleWood", a 12 year old single malt.
