The Macallan M Black 2022: A Peaty Surprise

With hints of dried and fresh fruits, honeyed fig, and spiced ginger, the blend offers a complex, multi-layered taste that's bound to leave your taste buds cheering. At 46%, this whisky packs a punch while maintaining a smooth, approachable finish.
The Macallan M Copper 2022: A Toast to the Past and Future
The Macallan M Copper 2022 is an ode to the Curiously Small Spirit Stills that have played a pivotal role in crafting The Macallan's precious spirit since its beginning in 1824. The copper-distilled whisky boasts a natural spun gold color – a nod to the brand's rich history and a hint of things to come. This vibrant, elegant whisky boasts a buttery, viscous mouth coating, bursting with fruitiness, and an underlying sweet malty and marshmallow flavor. The decanter is as striking as the whisky itself, handcrafted in Lalique crystal decanter and encased in a copper-colored exterior – a nod to its history and modern appeal. The ABV is set at 42%.
Honoring the Six Pillars: Natural Color, Mastery, and More
The Macallan's Six Pillars are the foundation stones that account for the brand's distinctive and exceptional whiskies: Natural Colour, Mastery, Curiously Small Spirit Stills, The Estate, Exceptional Oak Casks, and Sherry Seasoning. The whiskies' decanters have been designed in collaboration with renowned creative director Fabien Baron and French crystal maker Lalique. Each decanter sports six facets, symbolizing the Six Pillars, and is encased in outer packaging sourced in Scotland, ensuring a sustainable, earth-friendly touch.
A Creative Vision of Scotland: Photography and Film by Nick Knight
To add some artistic flair to the Macallan M Collection, The Macallan has partnered with award-winning luxury fashion photographer and creative visionary Nick Knight. Knight's imaginative imagery captures the collection in blocks of ice, paying tribute to The Macallan's deep connection to nature and the River Spey that flows through The Macallan Estate. Multiple creative projects showcasing Knight's abstract and expressionistic style will be unveiled in the coming months.
