Description
The whisky, created by The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team, is matured in a combination of first fill sherry seasoned American oak casks and refill sherry casks. These have been carefully selected to deliver the classic American oak flavours of vanilla, citrus and sweet oak, naturally derived from the cask during maturation, with a medium, sweet finish that delicately lingers.
The Distillery tells us;
The name Vibrant Oak and the gold colour evoke a sense of energy and liveliness. From the Cirque du Soleil SPIRIT Experience, two key characters will each bring to life the oak story. The beautiful illustration features a human figure; Ayla – intricately intertwined within the branches of an American oak tree. This design emphasises the importance of the connection between the natural world and human experience. It conveys the life and wonder that bloom when humans are “In Harmony with nature.
The design also incorporates peacock feathers which symbolises The Macallan’s natural colour and our peacock character, brought to life through the story of Spirit. The human representation links to Cirque du Soleil human performance and potential”.
Sustainable Innovation
The Macallan Harmony Collection celebrates the possibilities of repurposing natural materials in their packaging, and of creating beauty from our own resources. Supporting this ethos, oak chippings, a by-product created while making oak casks for The Macallan, are used in the presentation box and the bottle labels. Of great significance to The Macallan, the wood which is fashioned into their Exceptional Oak Casks makes this whisky so special.
