Product Description:

Matured in a blend of first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks and refill sherry casks, this whisky is a testament to the mastery of The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team. The combination of cask types imparts the signature American oak flavors—vanilla, citrus, and sweet oak—which perfectly balance with the complexity of a medium, sweet finish that lingers delicately. The whisky's vibrant color evokes a sense of energy and liveliness, reflecting its connection to the natural world.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rich and complex, with aromas of vanilla bean, sweet sherbet, and zesty lime. Fragrant pears and a delicate vanilla sponge cake add depth to the bouquet.
• Palate: The entry is rich and mouth-coating, giving way to soft, velvety tannins that gracefully sustain the whisky’s long finish.
• Finish: A smooth, persistent finish with lingering notes of vanilla and a hint of citrus.

The Experience:

This release showcases The Macallan’s respect for both creativity and nature. In partnership with Cirque du Soleil, the design of the bottle and packaging illustrates the intertwined relationship between human experience and the natural world, featuring a human figure, Ayla, who is intertwined with the branches of an American oak tree. This collaboration emphasizes the importance of oak in the creation of The Macallan whisky and highlights the natural world’s influence on both flavor and color.

Packaging:

Supporting The Macallan's ethos of sustainability, the presentation box and bottle labels incorporate oak chippings—a byproduct from crafting The Macallan’s exceptional oak casks. This commitment to repurposing natural materials speaks to The Macallan’s dedication to both creativity and environmental responsibility.
