This page covers “The Macallan Folio Series: Versions, Numbers, Bottle Condition and Accessories”. Macallan Folio forms part of The Archival Series. The official series page says that the series began in 2015 and is planned as 24 individual releases. The current page displays Folio 1 through Folio 8; “eight currently displayed releases” must not be rewritten as “only eight releases in the entire series”.
Scope confirmed by the official page
A catalogue may list Folio 1 through Folio 8 as releases currently displayed on the official page, while keeping a separate field for subsequent official releases so that the record can be updated. Record the planned 24 releases only as the official series structure; do not infer the names or dates of versions not yet displayed.
Version fields for each Folio
- Folio number, volume, ABV, and bottling or release information.
- Bottle and labels, outer box or book, supporting documents and limited-edition number.
- Market region, whether the box and bottle were originally matched, closure, fill level and provenance documents.
The book and outer box cannot establish the version by themselves
The Archival Series design story helps explain the theme, but the bottle label, box markings and number must still correspond. If only a book or outer box is present, identify that object clearly; do not assume that its bottle remains present or belongs to the same set.
Frequently asked questions
Did the Macallan Folio series end at Folio 8?
That conclusion is not supported. The official page currently displays Folio 1 through Folio 8 and also states that the complete series is planned as 24 individual releases.
Can Folios with the same number be compared directly on price?
Not without also aligning the volume, regional version, box and book, limited number, closure, fill level, provenance and transaction date.
Can a book by itself be recorded?
Yes, but list it as a separate accessory rather than a complete boxed bottle set.
