ALCOHOL
THE MACALLAN M BLACK
A MOST COMPLEX RELEASE
There remain at The Macallan Estate rare, black-ended casks holding peated Macallan. The smoke-infused spirit matured in these sherry seasoned oak casks has gathered distinction and depth over decades.
Flavour notes of warming wood spices open to dark chocolate and ginger, with a rare, lingering, and characterful peat
trace. An affectionate history of a whisky, it expressively chronicles bygone crafts of the generations that made it. Those lucky to meet it will never forget their rendezvous.
Subtly smoky and brooding it may be, but the whisky possesses the spark and breeding of a true Macallan. In its honour, its new home is hand crafted from black Lalique crystal.
A CELEBRATION OF MASTERY
One of the most challenging materials in the glass blower's repertoire, requiring more time and resource to produce than clear crystal. These individually numbered, slim and elegant decanters are flawless.
Their six facets are the inspirational acknowledgement of The Macallan's defining six pillars.
Designed by the Gallic creative visionary, Fabien Baron, the decanter was one of the most challenging that Lalique, true masters of the art, had encountered. Contemporary yet classical, their iconic realisation is a reverential triumph.
The Macallan No.6 Decanter
Another collaboration between Macallan single malt Scotch and Lalique French crystal to create another stunning luxury whisky. Aged in first-fill ex-Sherry Spanish oak casks from a single Jerez cooperage presented in a six-sided crystal decanter to celebrate Macallan's six pillars. This rich, intense whisky from The Macallan takes its name after the distillery’s six pillars and is part of The Macallan Master Decanter Series. Macallan No.6 is comprised of whiskies aged in first-fill sherry casks. Presented in a six-faceted Lalique decanter, this is rich and sumptuous, with notes of fruit cake and orange. Intense, fruity aroma, with notes of raisins, figs and dates. The palate is filled with rich oak, as well as early notes such as leather and tobacco. The finish is at once subtle and astounding, with a dry, nutty character accented by toffee and cream.

A wonderful example of what Japanese whisky is capable of. Rich with mature autumn fruit. Extremely smooth, with great complexity and a lovely balance of fruit, silky malt and a touch of smoke.
