The Macallan, renowned for its single malt Scotch whisky and owned by the Edrington Group, has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation and creativity. In an exciting collaboration with sisters Stella and Mary McCartney, The Macallan unveils the third installment of its Harmony Collection. This limited annual release series highlights the brand’s inherent curiosity and dedication to craftsmanship.
The third release of The Harmony Collection pays tribute to the rich landscapes of Scotland, celebrating the land that has connected generations. With this collaboration, the brand not only showcases its whisky-making excellence but also its commitment to sustainability and nature. The third release in the yearly series brings out two special whiskeys, The Macallan Harmony Collection Amber Meadow and Green Meadow.
These creations take their cue from the McCartney sisters’ fond memories of the Scottish countryside. To show their strong tie to the land, the boxes, and bottle tags are nature-inspired and made from reused meadow clippings.
This creative use of natural materials aligns perfectly with Stella McCartney’s renowned eco-conscious design philosophy, bringing a unique and thoughtful touch to the collection.
An approach that turns natural stuff at the end of its life into something beautiful again. The Macallan Whisky Mastery Team drew inspiration from Scotland’s natural grasslands to craft this limited-edition whisky, employing a blend of sherry-seasoned oak and bourbon casks.
About the collection, Steven Bremner, Whisky Maker said, “There is so much to discover with The Macallan Harmony Collection Amber Meadow. It is a single malt redolent of warm meadows and mature barley fields, with a rich, citrus scented finish. The 100% natural summer evening colour derived from our exceptional sherry seasoned oak and bourbon casks reflects the richness of the flavour which awaits. On the nose fresh citrus fruits and honeysuckle are complemented by hints of vanilla, coconut and ripe barley fields. On tasting, notes of oak, lemon, melon are prominent, accompanied by flavours of classic scone and almond with green tea, before giving way to a rich and sweet long finish.”
By partnering with the McCartney sisters for the first time, The Macallan continues to elevate its brand, offering a product that is as artistically profound as it is exquisitely crafted. And the Harmony Collection shows the brand’s knack for new ideas and its deep respect for old ways.
This release is going to grab the attention of whisky lovers and collectors making The Macallan’s place at the top of the whisky world even stronger.
